Jim, what kind of problems did they have?As far as the M10 being out dated that is what they said with the monoshock in 05 until it started having huge maintanance problems
only thing i heard was a lack of grease fittings on the 05's only. the bender kit has grease fittings.SRX MAINE said:Jim, what kind of problems did they have?
I'm curious about this. I'm about to buy the same set up, if they answer there emails
because yamaha would want $250+ each rail and proaction ones work just fine. they need to cut costs where they can.Jim Drake said:Go to the 4 stroke forum and you will find many topics on the 05 mono. If bottomed there was a lot of problems with W arm cracks, pre-mature bearing wear, idler wheel wear, adjustment cable breakage and stretching, the boot that held the cable tearing, just did not hold up. Look at the 06 and you will see a tremendous difference in the beefyness of the monoshock. The grease fittings or lack of is a tremendous problem that the owners will have to correct by adding zerks, not a lot of money but should have come from Yamaha that way. IMHO Yamaha rushed out the Mono as the existing suspensions were so bad and such a high percentage of RX1 owners, including myself, were going to other manufacturers suspensions that it was embaressing.
Why keep the wheels and rails as I believe those are also changed in 06?
Jim, you have really good points here, but the cable & adj. shock won't be a problem to the Bender system (it doesn't have it)If bottomed there was a lot of problems with W arm cracks, pre-mature bearing wear, idler wheel wear, adjustment cable breakage and stretching, the boot that held the cable tearing, just did not hold up.
