OEM Steering Damper for the RD500

Hi All,

I picked up what is claimed to be a genuine Yamaha Steering Damper Bracket and brackets supposedly for the RD500. Haven't had a close look at it yet but has anyone come across this and familiar with how it fits. Be grateful for any tips, advice, info etc.

Regards

B

Re: Blowing Fuse

Thanks guys, read another thread as well where it suggested ithe Thermo switch was the most likely cause of the problem. Are these known to fail? Is there a replacement available Ivor are they the same as any other bikes e.g. the RZ/RD 350???

Re: Was Crank timing now Engine Rebuild Progress

Hi Steve,

That would be great thanks. Obviously bike had been running without it before the tear down. Clutch seemed to work fine though so I was wondering if it was omitted on purpose for some reason, would that be possible or did someone just get it wrong????
