Guy's how can I stop this annoying control rod slap when having to puts through a no wake zone in the 12" stutters? Anyone know of a bushing or anything??

Somewhere I read where you can take the control rod apart and put an o-ring in there that will help with the metal on metal contact noise. But for some reason I can't find the info anywhere.

I added a thin piece of tire tube to the 'push' side...helped a little, but the best solution has been the right thumb...the thumb helps with bottoming, rod clunks, track harmonics, and hard steering!!!! Just press liberally.

Try softening rebound adjuster, couple notches at a time.

Dude that was hilarious. In all serious stuff though I will be trying to lighten up the rebound also.SumpBuster said:

Yamaha scandinavia offers something called steel-rubber (bushing) to reduce the control rod slap. I have ordered this part and it might be here this week. Its a yamaha part and if you want I can check the part number and post it here when I have it.?

Absolutely post it. I'm game, although the thumb solution is more fun. Just tough in the tight woods.

Maybe I missed something...mine's an 06 rtx..where is the rebound adjuster? I will say when the dial adjust is softer it clunks less, but I thought that affects compression more than rebound.grizzerly said:

It controls both. In stutter bumps my experience is to run on soft setting ( 8 of 22) and you eliminate rod slap and ride is better. If too hard shock is not returning and you end up with ridgid ride.
