Yamaha question regarding trailing arms

[ViperVixen]

I need to replace the trailing arm (right side) on my 02 SXViperER.

Would a trailing arm from a 03 Mountain Viper work? Would I need different radius rods for that to work....if so, probably not the best solution.

Thanks,
VV

I think that the mtn arms will mount up but according to the yamaha fiche there are 2 different types of arms. I think that the difference is the lack of a sway bar mount. Maybe someone else on here could provide a little more insight or correct me if I'm wrong.

It will fit, and it has the sway bar mount. Look at the pic in the link.

I'd double check with a dealer, but I am 99% sure it will. Maxdlx

My 03 mtn viper has the sway bar mounts, just no sway bar.

Just spoke with local Yamaha dealer...part numbers for trailing arms don't match.

1) 02 Viper - #8DM
2) 03 Mountain Viper - #8EN

The parts guy didn't know what the difference is. He couldn't provide me with a resource to find out! Per picture posted by Maxdlx the T/A looks exactly the same as mine EXCEPT who knows the measurements? I would buy it, if I knew it would work on my sled.

Regardless of damage my T/A is ridable "as is" (dented, no kinks). During the last few March rides, I didnt have any issues with handling. Since last season it has rusted and looks terrible! No huge hurry on this, but I would like to find a used Yamaha silver T/A (right only) that would fit. I've checked Ebay and no luck...yet :-)

If anyone runs across one, please give me a shout!
Thanks,
