SX/SXi/SXi Pro Pole Pivot Hole Slop 92 SX750

[Roger]

My pole and bushings are worn at the pivot bolt on my SX750. i read on another post to use UMI pole bushings for a SXR and drill the pole to fit the bigger bushings.
Does anyone no if these will work http://www.blowsion.com/products/335-pivot-bolt-bushing-umi-pole-to-sxr-oem-bracket.aspx My main concern is the inside diameter matches my existing bolt.
Thanks

I ordered the UMI bushings. We will find out soon if it works.

i just pulled a brand new set off my SXi pro pole (pole broke, bushings are almost brand new) mine was a little worn to, i just epoxied these in (the epoxy took up the slack in the holes, but didn't adhere to actual bushing) for the cost of shipping, u could have had these.

I was thinking about just epoxying (sp) the slop in the hole and using stockers. If the UMI bushings work I will post pictures of the process. Seems like this would be a common problem on thrashed skis. Glad you got your pole fixed on the cheap, sounds like it worked well,

All Kawasaki skis prior to the 1995 SXI had no bushings and would get loose after about one season. There were aftermarket nylon bushings available that would fix the problem.

Kevbo I think you are correct. Looks like the pole just has fat washers on the outside and egged out hole in the pole. Hope I can make the UMI bushings work. The guys at Blosion said the inner diameter should be correct.

Bushings in and everything seems good. I can post pics if anyone is interested.
