i know some of you have probaly read my note on another web site but i need to bring it up again, i have had my 525 for about 5 months . it took about 3 months to wear out the top steering stem slide bushing , so i ordered a new one wich took 2 months to get , only to find out that the bushing had not wore but indeed the aluminum stem took the beating. the new bushing does nothing for me it still has a lot of play- when i mean play i mean KLUNK KLUNK play. so no one answered my other post so you mean to tell me that there is nobody else experiencing this same thing? the problem is the stem wears and not the bushing . ktm makes a big deal about the size of the bottom bearing being so big to handle abuse and never mentions the top bushing at any time, i could be wrong but does the top not take the same abuse. don;t get me wrong i love my quad i just want to hear some other thoughts the only choice i have is to wait for an aftermarket company to come up with a steel re placement stem and order a new bushing to replace my "race ready stem " to fix my problem.
only venting , i have waited for parts, etc. just like everyone else. thanks for any replies
