Thanks for the help guys. A little worried about why the did what they did. Hopefully nothing is too bent. The cross bar is welded on to the swing arm itself
It looks like the long bolt they had sheared and they welded the carrier to the swingarm. I will probably cut the crossbar out and use the original setup. Do the upper bolts thread into the swingarm or do they use a nut on the end. ?
Ha thanks. The pictures I see online dont show the bar going across the top. Has that been added. Basically im just trying to figure what size hardware I need to if it right after I grind off the welds.
Notice the beautiful welds. This is on the 87 I bought for 200. I have a 91 but this is different so im not sure what I will need to fix this right. After I grind off the welds of course.
I had the same thing happen. I sprayed it with pb blaster. Let it set a few hours. Then smacked the end of the broken stud with a hammer. After than I was able to turn it out with vice grips. Hitting it with a hammer breaks loose the corrosion between the steel stud and aluminum head.
Thanks for the help. I will give it a shot. I didnt give it much of a break in time. I was riding it pretty hard because I was mad about the smoke. I've heard before it better to break them in hard so I will find out I suppose. Lol. It had good power while I was riding. I jumped to negative...
I've probably got 25 min total on it. The smoke from the exhaust seem to be drecreasing but when I put it up for the night there was smoke coming off the head and out of the tube that come up out of the airbox
