Dopeyferree about to send part, have couple ???

[dopeyferree]

I am about to send you a frame and sub frame, maybe a couple other small parts. I have a couple questions. Its from an 05 YFZ, Can you remove the steering stem bearing and install a new one for me? Not sure how to get it out or put a new one in. Also, do you tap all the thread holes out or will I need to do that? One more question for now, What time of day would be better to drop it off personally to you, I only work about 1.5 hours from you. I get off work at 7 am, so I could drop it off around 9-10 am if your up that early. If not let me know a good time.

[Pappy]

Yes i can do the bearing if needed

I plug all the holes, most folks have no problems once they start reassembly

any day is good as long as i know your coming, there is always someone here

[dopeyferree]

THanks, I got it dis assembled today, I just need to get it cleaned up and decide what other parts I may want pc'd. I am planning on doing a red frame , but I want to make sure its not close to the stock yfz red.

[dopeyferree]

One more question, What does molycoating bolts do? Also how much for the swing arm bolt and control arm bolts, if its beneficial.

[Pappy]

Moly is a lubricating molydendumsulfide coating that prevents rust and corrosion etc. I highly recommend doing the pivot bolt. pivot bolt is $20, arm bolts on a yfz are about $3 each for the long ons, $1 each for the small ones. Yamaha's factory bolt coatings arent so bad.

[dopeyferree]

Pappy, Are you going to be at your place tommorrow morning about 10:00 am or so. I was planning on coming up and dropping my frame off and would like to meet you and check out your shop if your there.

[Pappy]

I have to work tomorrow, but wednesday i should be here. The wife works here all day so she can take the parts , but if ya wanna meet with me tomorrow aint so good:p

[dopeyferree]

Ok, Tommorrow is the only day off this week, going to hit the slots on the way home from there. Should I just leave my frame and other parts on your porch. I am dropping off a frame , sub frame and a bag of bolts to be molycoated. Do you do the nuts too or just the bolts?

[Pappy]

The wife will be here and she will show you where to drop everything

[dopeyferree]

I am sending you a frame , subframe, and some bolts. I want the frame and sub done in a bright yellow. Similar to this.

[dopeyferree]

I dropped the frame off this morning. Got a little lost since you didnt tell mapquest you changed the street signs at the end of your road :blah: . Anyway, met your wife and she was really nice. Got to see codys track, maybe he will let me come play on day.

Now heres the list of what needs done.
First off, I left the steering stem bearing and seals in there. Can you get them and replace them once the PC is done.
I want the Frame and subframe powder coated the a bright yellow , similar to what is in the link above. The bag of bolts taped to the frame are my swing arm bolt and linkage bolts. I think I put 4 bolts in there total. I would like to get those moly coated. Let me know when you close to being finished so I can get the wife to take a day off work and we will come pick it up and hit the Slot casino again. Had fun today, lost enough money to probley pay you. :mad: Oh well I guess I will have to get my money the old fashioned way and go to to work tommorrow.

It's going to look great! When will you have it back together? I'd like to go to your friends track before the VXCS starts, I haven't had much time to ride lately. PM me when you get a chance, didn't mean to jack your thread.

Have to ask Pappy, give me about a week or 2 after the frame is done and I should have it back together.

[Pappy]

i ordered your bearing and dust seals, frame will be dropped off today or tomorrow for stripping. im off hopefully tomorrow and friday and the weekend so i plan on trying to get most everything here done. if they are quick on your frame i should have it done next week

[dopeyferree]

Sounds great. I cant wait to put this thing back together.

[dopeyferree]

Any chance my stuff is back from the blaster. Also can you send me a price and possible expected finish date. I will come back up there to pick it up. Also let me know when you will be there.

[Pappy]

frame should be done early this week, then my plans are to shoot it towards the end of the week. I will keep you updated

[dopeyferree]

Sorry for bugging you so much but any chance it my frame, sub frame and bolts will be finished up by Friday or Saturday. I am off both days and could come pick them up if they are ready. Also , could you let me know a total price. Thanks.

[Pappy]

im pretty sure it will not be ready for me to get from the strippers. the extreme cold has things delayed in all aspects of the process....including my satelite internet:ermm:

[dopeyferree]

Pappy, Have you gotten my stuff from the strippers yet?

[Pappy]

not as of yesterday, not sure if they are even working today due to the snow and ice storm, but i will give them a call. havent seen you new stem bearing either.

[dopeyferree]

Have you heard anything from the strippers ?

[Pappy]

only that im supposed to call back on monday.

[dopeyferree]

got your pm, sent you one.

[Pappy]

update....

i snatched all the frames from the burn off oven on friday, and delivered them to the other company i use for blasting today. (other place was dicking around) i am scheduled to pick up all my frames tomorrow(saturday) at noon, and i will knock yours out first. if you look at the weather, tomorrow evening will be the only shot at getting in here for a few days:ermm: where is global warming when you need it:p

[dopeyferree]

If it will be ready I would like to pick it up tommorrow evening. Did you get the bolts moly coated? I need to start getting this thing put together as soon as possible. Please call me when you know what time it will be ready and I can plan to come up there. I will need 3 hours notice, so I can get home and get the car and about 1.5 to 2 hours to get to your house. I just checked weather .com and it should be fine for me getting there Saturday afternoon or evening. Also could you give me a total $$

[Pappy]

pm me your # and i will call you the second i leave the blasters tomorrow as i will have a better idea of when the frame will be done etc. if everything goes as planned, it will be ready for pick up around 3pm

[dopeyferree]

Pappy, do you have any days in March planned for BPG. I may try to get up there before the 18 of March,

[Pappy]

as soon as the weather breaks, we are wide open most weekends that i do not have to cover races etc.

[dopeyferree]

[Pappy]

Definately! I'm running this series as well, first race is 3/18! :devil: My first race :macho

[Pappy]

where is it located?

[XCAdam89]

It's at Outdoorsman Park in Martinsville, VA. It's both a VXCS (Quad Series) and VCCS (Bike Series) event, so there should be a decent turn-out.

2007 Schedule:

3/18 Outdoorsman Park Martinsville, Va

4/22 Lake Sugar Tree MX Axton, Va.

5/13 Haynes Farm Sutherlin, Va.

6/03 NCMP Henderson, NC

[Pappy]

age restrictions? can cody run his 300 in that series?

[XCAdam89]

Not 100% sure since I'm new to the series as well, Darren will know more about it, but vxcs.org has all the info.

[dopeyferree]

How old is Cody, I will call Tim and ask. There is a 91-300 cc A B and C class.

[Pappy]

he is 13 and races youth production 300cc in the nationals

[dopeyferree]

have you gotten my steering stem bearing yet?

[Pappy]

its enroute, but if you need one faster and can get one h\go ahead.

i also need your addy so i can send down the retaing part

[dopeyferree]

I will pm you my address. As far as cody racing I asked the race director, he said he much be 16 to race the 300, There are 2 youth atv classed, a 50 and 90 class.

[XCAdam89]

As far as the 18th race is concerned, I'm not 100% sure I'll be there, my Dad has to be in Syracuse for business on the 19th, so the 18th may be a little tight considering it's 4+ Hrs. away, but I'll try my hardest.

The bike is ready to go now with the exception of some nerf's, I've really been trying to find a used set of AC's, but I'm not having much luck.

[dopeyferree]

I got my package today, :D I thought I had lost that bolt, couldnt remember if I sent it to you or not. I tore my whole garage apart looking for it. I figured I had lost it so I called the dealer to order a new one, Can you believe that FMS charged me $9 for that bolt, oh well I guess I will have a spare if it ever comes in.

[Pappy]

i read your post in another thread and went looking for it. not sure how it was missed, but was off to florida before i had remembered to tell you

[dopeyferree]

Its finally coming together, I am just waiting on the bearing from C&D, I think it should be here today. I will get some pictures soon. Its looking great.

[dopeyferree]

I got the steering stem bearing in last night after a long hard fight :mad: Its in though, thanks for the use of your retainer tool. I will try to get it in the mail to you today.

[XCAdam89]

Any Pics Darren??

[dopeyferree]

Its finished Finally. I got to do a little riding in the yard today.

[06YFZ450SE]

Its looking good. I wish I had the extra money to get aftermarket suspension and shocks.

[dopeyferree]

Thanks guys, It wouldnt look that good if it wasnt for Pappy, and he doesnt like yellow :blah: I work 2 jobs, one for the family and bills and I got a part time job that is my atv money. Hard work gets grown men all the toys they want....

[jherbie28]

[dopeyferree]

Pappy, did you get your steering stem bearing tool, I forgot to ask if it came.
