I see in Snowtech that Yamaha has changed the profile of their helix rub buttons on the RX-1 for 04. According to Snowtech:
"The button profile has been changed to improve the performance of the multi-angle cam. These buttons are interchangeable as a complete set with the previous ones and could be considered for any Yamaha model using an aftermarket multi-angle helix for the same reasons."
I read this and called my dealer and asked him for pricing on these new buttons. The 04 Yamaha part number is 8ER-17688-00. They retail for around $11.00 and some change. You can get them from Tracy's world of cycles at 1-800-860-0686 for under $8.00 each.
I received a package yesterday with three of these buttons. I guess my dealer thought I really wanted a set (actually I was just asking). They look very similar to the 03 buttons but they are quite a bit taller. I will give them a try and see if there is any noticable difference.
Have you guys with an 03 and an 04 noticed any difference? PB
