I don't know about the other bushings on a Beast, but Yamaha bushings work really well in the swingarm. Check out this post: http://www.chinariders.net/modules.p...ewtopic&t=7702

If you review the link again, you'll see where I mention that I added the zerk and why.

The photo of the bushing in the link is for the swingarm. I'm unfamiliar with the rubber spacers you speak of; mine never had them.

Are the bushings the same size as on my mini beast. I am going out today to get some poly urethane or elastomer ones from a local bicycle shop. They carry a huge amount now due to all the full suspension bikes now.

I'm not sure, but I don't think so. Do you have a set of Mini Beast bushings that you can measure?

I'd like to see a photo of the poly bushings that you find. That has possibilites for the Beast control arms.

I missed the store being open today as I work overnights but i will post some pics of the 50cc atv and the bushings on Monday.

I am pretty sure the Mini Beast and Beast have different swing arm bushing sizes. W&G, I think we checked that when working on my daughters quad. I just don't remember exactly the difference, but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't work.

Maybe a picture would help clear things up?
