Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. 82M-23821-00-00 Steering Relay Rod

The Yamaha 82M-23821-00-00 Steering Relay Rod is a rigid steering linkage component that connects the steering column to the ski linkage, translating the rider’s input into precise directional control. Used in Yamaha snowmobile steering systems, it ensures proper alignment and reliable steering performance, and is commonly found in Exciter-series machines such as EX570, EX570E, and Exciter II from the late 1980s to early 1990s. Manufactured as a steel or alloy rod, it mounts between the steering column and the ski linkage assembly to transfer steering input through the linkage system. With its joint interfaces designed for alignment, this OEM part provides a mechanical connection for directional control and helps maintain smooth handling across varying snow conditions. Status: Discontinued OEM replacement; genuine Yamaha component. Common replacements include Yamaha 8HG-23821-00-00, 8K4-23821-00-00, and 8AT-23821-00-00.
