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

Yamaha never made a steering damper kit for the 500's, the seller listed it as part number 51x-21140-00 which is a ally frame down tube for the RZV500R

Yep. Dishonest seller.silverstrom wrote: ↑Fri Jan 18, 2019 3:37 pm Like this https://www.ebay.ca/itm/RD500-RZ500-RZV ... :0&vxp=mtr
Plenty of newbies and casual owners can be duped by false advertising.
Can hardly by anything, anymore, without checking every detail.

That’s a bummer, so what is this steering damper off.

You can use it if the stroke is right. You need a 90 mm stroke.
You can contact eBay and tell them what happened and you'll get your money back. It could be an honest mistake by the seller. Contact him and if you get no joy then complain to eBay. eBay will also refund your shipping when you get something that isn't what it is supposed to be. https://www.ebay.com/help/buying/return ... =4008&st=7
