They are there. You might have to give it a minute to load. No errors in the page I checked for errors in links and there aren't any..

....or you could just pile on some high quality grease and leave the washer out

Thats a big Negative...



I use mobil 1 synthetic grease, which is like $12 a tube. It doesn't get any more high quality unless your gettin your grease from NASA. It might not be necessary for a stock stem but an aftermarket stem with PC on it gives it a larger diameter, there for the added small washer makes up for the difference. I know for a FACT it made my steering a HE11 of a lot easier..

I have been wondering about that... cuz every since I got my 400ex... it has been a b@%^* to turn I have loosend the bolts a little.. but it didn't help... I will try that and while I am at it I am going to put some good marine grease (water proof) on it too...
