I bought the damper(18-0873) from Mike's awhile back and decided to finally install it today. When I pulled out the old rod assembly I had no damper at all. The motor has never been apart and I am the original owner so it came from the factory that way. The Yamaha parts list shows a damper for my bike (77D) though. Was this a mid year add on or service bulletin fix or ???
The rod on my bike always had to be out past the nut for it to be quiet. Now with the damper the rod is just about flush with the required movement and is quieter as well. From previous posts it looks like some bikes had a copper washer damper also. Anybody know what the story on this is??
