Thanks for the pics vermin88
A great example of what will happen to most everyone sooner than later.
My mount was trashed. Quad is an 06. The only reason I took mine apart was because I was changing the Steering stem. If anybodies stem has any play or is squeaking I would recommend you at least inspect your mount and regrease.
I agree with vermin88. Just think how nice it would be to hit your OMI stem mount with a shot of grease
The steering stem mount sees crazy amounts of movement, debris, moisture, and the stem is put under load side to side front & back by the rider fatiguing Yamaha's mount.
