Awl Points to the Spot
Part number 90201-08624-00, washer, plate, number 8 on the fiche is missing from my spare cover. It is available from local dealer for $4.80 but looks like it is only an M8 washer. I went to my nuts and bolts store here and the open stock stuff was too big in outside diameter to fit in the case. Are there any cheaper substitutes?
What is the effect of running without it - will the spinning rod rapidly wear out the socket in the case?
There's a long list of Yamahas up to early 2000's that use this same part, can't see why it's so pricey.
