I have been scratching my head on this one, I ordered Race Tech emulators for my 07 VMAX. After I disassemble, I found the damping rod inner seat was 26 mm and the emulator was 29 mm. I have contacted Race Tech and my local yamaha dealer. No one can figure out why my damping rods are incorrect. My tubes measure to the correct 43 mm as well. I guess the previous owner could have done some work, but I don't think the would change damping rods. Would my suspension work at all if the incorrect damping rods were installed? Any thoughts?
