1986 Tri-z Re Build

[yamaman]

JUST STRIPPED THE WHOLE TRIKE DOWN TO BARE FRAME,AND COULD DO WITH A HELPING HAND IF POSSIBLE!

1.I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SURE FRAME IS OK(STRAIGHT)IS THERE ANYWHERE THAT WOULD TELL YOU ANY MEASUREMENTS OF THE FRAME TO CHECK MINE AGAINST???????

2.I BROUGHT A 'GENUINE' YAMAHA MAIN SWINGARM BOLT FOR THIS BIKE,IT HAS BEEN RODE FOR LESS THAN 5 HOURS AND SNAPPED THE BOLT,RIGHT AT THE END WHERE THE THREADS START!!(WAS TIGHTENED TO CORRECT TORQUE)THE REPLACEMENT BOLT I GOT WAS HOLLOW,BUT ON MY 85 TRI-Z IT IS SOLID,ANY OF YOU KNOW WHICH IS CORRECT OR IF IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE?

3.LAST QUESTION,,,THE SWINGARM HAS A SLIGHT CRACK IN IT,,DO I NEED TO TAKE THIS TO THE SHOP TO BE DONE OR IT OK TO WELD UP MYSELF?????

ANY HELP B GOOD,CHHERS.

WILL HAVE FULL PICTURES OF REBUILD SOON!

AND IF ANY HELP TO ANY1 WITH A TRI-Z THE WARRIAR REAR SHOCK WORKS FINE!!!!:headbang:

Are you saying the solid bolt that was in it broke? I think they'er all supposed to be hollow which may be why yours broke.

How good of a welder are you? :D Might be a good time to add a couple inches. ;)

THE BOLT THAT SNAPPED WAS 'HOLLOW',THAT IS THE ONE I GOT FROM YAMAHA,THE ONE IN MY 85 TRI-Z (NOT SURE IF ITS BEEN REPLACED)IS SOLID!!

PRETTY GOOD WITH A WELDER,ANY1 EXTENDED A TRI Z SWINGARM THEMSELVES?WHERE THEY CUT IT,ETC,ETC.??

THANKS.

My 85 is a solid bolt. I see all the newer dirt bikes have hollow case hardened bolts. may be the new stile. may not take the torque the lod ones did.

My arm also had a crack just in front of the shock, however i got out the mighty MIG and done it myself, NO PROBLEM!!

YOU CAN JUST SEE IN THE PICTURE WHERE I FINISHED GRINDING IT OFF
