Which are the best type?
General wisdom was the cheapo SIL ones. Is that still the case and if so are the two or three hole ones best.

I am playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order.

As a matter of interest, was it the kick start side that went? only that side gets more stress than the flywheel side so possibly not a fair test.WINTERMODEL150 wrote:Interesting question,6k miles ago i fitted 1 sil and 1 casa bush in my engine and strangely the casa bush has warn out totally leaving the sil one looking as good as the day i fitted it

No downside, and can give a bit of extra support to the mount. May even prolong life of mount. I had some Injun mounts that came on my scoot that were rubber all the way through. They were shagged through bouncing through all the potholes in Bangalore Original Injun on left, new SIL mount on right (before injecting silicone sealant)
