I'm about to do a complete overhaul on my forks (65k miles / 6 years since their last service, 80k miles on the original bushings) and I can't find any OEM part numbers for the bushings. Also, recommended oil weight for a "husky" rider using Traxxion Axxion Valve Kit?
 
So I had a quick email chat with Traxxion Dynamics since they did my forks years ago, and they said the bushings are built into the upper tubes and the only way to replace them - is to buy a new fork tube
 
That's not true. You can replace the bushings. It is not easy though. I replaced mine recently. Fork works way better now. You have to knock them out of the outer tubes. K-tech makes replacement bushings. Also, some year R1 uses the same bushings. I know a guy who bought R1 bushings and used them in FZ1. I can find and post the part numbers.
