So I just bought a new set of OEM bushings/bearings for my a-arms and looking at the packaging got me wondering:
Are ALL 250R parts 18-20 years old, even new oem replacement parts?
Does anybody know anything about parts production - like do they just run extra parts when they produce the yearly run and when those parts run out they are done, or do they continually make parts through out the years then eventually stop ie discontinued?
I also noticed the made in Japan sticker.
I know the 450Rs are made in USA. Are any other hondas still made in Japan? And is the quality better in Japan and that is why they lasted so long?
If anybody has these answers - awesome or discuss Japan vs USA quality of atvs.
