Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Teflon-coated bushings reduce fork stiction and breakaway friction compared to bare bronze alternatives, translating directly to smoother initial suspension stroke feel
- Complete kit includes guide bushings, slide bushings, copper washers, and snap rings — all consumable hardware components of a bushing service in one purchase
- Specific 2009 Honda CRF250R application fitment ensures correct bore dimensions and interference fit without modification
- Teflon coating resists scoring the fork tube surface under wear, extending the service life of the fork tubes themselves
- Dynamic-tested kit construction confirms the guide and slide bushing dimensions meet performance specifications before the kit ships
👎 Cons
- Fork seals are not included — a complete fork service requires purchasing seals separately, adding a second order or parts hunt
- Fitment is specific to the 2009 CRF250R — confirmed compatibility for adjacent model years requires consulting PROX's fitment chart, which adds a step before ordering
- Installation requires fork disassembly and a bushing driver tool — this is not a roadside or field repair, it requires a proper workbench setup
- No installation instructions are included in the kit; first-time fork rebuilders must source a service manual for torque specifications and assembly sequence
- The Teflon coating can be damaged if the bushing is driven in with incorrect tooling — a metal driver directly on the bushing face will shear the coating during installation
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this kit fit only the 2009 Honda CRF250R, or does it cover other model years of the CRF250R?
PROX confirms fitment for the 2009 Honda CRF250R — this is the primary specified application. Additional model years may be covered depending on whether the fork tube dimensions and bushing bore specifications match; consult PROX's full fitment guide to confirm compatibility with CRF250R models outside of 2009 before ordering. Ordering by year/make/model from the fitment guide is the safest approach to avoid receiving incorrect bushing dimensions.
What does the Teflon coating on these bushings do compared to uncoated bronze or OEM bushings?
Teflon (PTFE) coating on the guide and slide bushings reduces the coefficient of friction against the fork tube surface compared to uncoated bronze alternatives. In practical terms, this means lower breakaway friction — the fork moves through its initial stroke with less stiction — and better heat and wear resistance over repeated compression and rebound cycles. The coating also reduces scoring of the fork tube surface under marginal lubrication conditions.
Does this kit include everything needed for a complete fork bushing service, or are there additional parts required?
The PROX kit includes guide bushings, slide bushings, copper washers, and fork seal snap rings — the hardware components of a bushing service. Fork seals themselves are typically sold separately. For a complete fork rebuild, you will also need fork oil (appropriate weight for your suspension setup), and you may want to replace dust seals if they show cracking or contamination. The kit covers the bushing hardware but is not a comprehensive fork seal kit.
What tools are required to install this bushing kit on the CRF250R forks?
Fork bushing installation requires the fork legs to be disassembled from the bike, which needs a fork cap socket, a large hex socket for the cartridge damping rod (typically 10mm hex on CRF250R internals), and a bushing driver or PVC pipe of appropriate diameter to seat the guide and slide bushings without damaging the bushing coating. A clean workbench and fork seal driver complete the tool requirements. This is a moderately involved job — comfortable for someone who has serviced suspension components before.
How often should fork bushings be replaced on a CRF250R used for racing versus recreational riding?
On a racing CRF250R with regular hard use, fork bushings typically show measurable wear — increased lateral play in the fork tubes — in the range of 40–80 hours of ride time depending on track conditions and rider weight. For recreational trail riding, the interval extends considerably longer. The practical indicator is lateral play: if you can feel the fork tubes rocking side-to-side when squeezed, the bushings are worn and replacement is due regardless of hours.
