    Hi all,
    I recently bought a factory steering damper for my TE449, after 3 rides it started leaking oil and failed to do what it was supposed to. My dealer swapped it over (very fast service thanks guy's) and now the new one has died after just one ride, has anyone else had an issue with these units?
    cheers Craig.

    Factory steering damper?

    Honda tried a half-assed effort on their CRF's a couple years ago.. Never seen one of those on a Husky before...... Pic?

    Kelly, at over 700.00 the OEM one must be a limited production run of 10.
