    ..........................

    Upper and lower fork bushings turn from a dull grey to copper-colored when they're worn.

    Might be a good idea to replace washers on bottom bolts.

    Maybe the snap rings?

    Mine were rusted and when I removed them they became pretty beat up.

    How many miles does the bike have? I would not replace the bushings unless worn as Squirrel stated as they are a bit pricey.

    ^^ Good point. ^^

    Pull everything apart and see what it needs first. Even the bushing on my VF500 forks were fine after 58,000kms.

    I'll check to see if they need replacing, I assume you guys are talking about BUSH, GUIDE
    51414-MN4-003, and BUSH, SLIDER 51415-MN4-003?

    They are not too expensive, about $7.30US and $9.30US each.
