HELP....My rear shock has gone out...

[Freebird]

Creole,

Save the money and buy the shock for the later models. They are the same except that the newer ones have a vent line that is supposed to help them last longer. Don't know if it really does or not but everything else is the same.

I thought these were all the same through the years 99-current

 

I am not sure which year they started but Yamaha did make a slight change to the rear shock that was supposed to help it resist getting dirt and road grime under the bellows, something to do with adding or relocating the vent tube as I recall, that may explain the difference in pricing.

The newer th rmodel you can find the better off you will be as far as getting the most up to date design, should fit the same just has the added or extended vent tube.

 

Yeah what Freebird said while I was typing :-)

If you call the steaLership back and ask them to put any year of rsv into the computer, you will get about 3 different numbers and prices, however if you ask the to check availability in the distribution center, they will all supercede to one number and 1 price.

Sure some dealers markup is higher than others.

 

And no the shock / shaft/ seal do not come apart, i sure wish it did

Thanks for the info. Not planning to use the local dealership anyway (90 miles away). Going to order online, since there all the same. I think I can get it to my door for about $500.

Midnight,

I found a yamaha boat site on the Internet ( don't have the link right now, found it at work) that also lists other yamaha parts that was the same price as your link, but haven't actually tried to order it yet.

[Freebird]

I wonder if it was boat.net. A lot of us have purchased from them in the past.

[creole]

I believe that was it. So any good?

[midnightventure]

I have ordered from boats.net and had good luck. To tell you the truth I think the link I posted is connected with boats.net. They are both part of something called outdoornetwork.com. The funny part is the prices vary between the two sites.

I've only purchased from them a couple of times and it was small items but I was 100% satisfied with them.
