Iron Horse Posted September 7, 2015 Share #1 Posted September 7, 2015 My '86 XVZ13 has a loose dash - yet the nuts seem tight. Anyone have any ideas for a fix? Thank you!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted September 7, 2015 Share #2 Posted September 7, 2015 Yep, had a loose dash last year to the point were it was flopping like it was ready to fall off and made a heck of a racket. I think the rubber grommets dry and shrink / breakdown. Someone here suggested adding washers. I added thick SS washers to each side of all the grommets pre season. That totally tightened up dash flop and eliminated most of the rough road bounce racket from the front end. Close to 10,000 mi. and still holding.

Adding washers to the rubber grommets was a Yamaha Tech Bulletin suggestion. M83-015 Additionnal Predelivery service .pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIC Posted September 12, 2015 Share #4 Posted September 12, 2015 I also added washers to the dash grommets. Get a 10mm closed end ratchet wrench to do it. It makes it a whole lot easier !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VerntureVet Posted September 12, 2015 Share #5 Posted September 12, 2015 Sounds like a good use for one of the 2 universal fixers. No JK I put washers on mine also works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
