We got an inquiry about this, so let me report on it.
“Can I replace the engine damper myself?” “Do I have to drop the engine to replace it?”
Yes! You can do it yourself!
You don’t need to drop the engine, but…
You’ll need to remove a total of 8 bolts.
The layout is as shown in the photo (it’s amazing that they even have just that frame part).
Make sure to loosen the left and right frame connection points first, or you’ll regret it later.
So after loosening the four M8 bolts, you move on to loosening the engine damper bolts, but…
This is the tricky part—the thread locker is rock solid! And if it’s rusted, it’s the worst—it won’t budge at all!
This time one bolt snapped and the nut head got stripped!
If you sense danger, I recommend not forcing it.
