Title: steering damper
Post by: RDDave on December 15, 2024, 01:25:37 PM
I thought I saw a video on replacing the oil in the RD steering damper. I can't find it now. Seems it said to loosen the screws and immerse it in oil.

Sound familiar? Anyone have a link or description on this?

Thanks!

thats correct, the 2 cross head screws come out and you can replace the oil. you can submerse it and move the paddle back and forth or fill it with a syringe.
