KrZy8 - Broken SubFrame

Crapola, so close to NAFO, not much time.

Questions first -

1. Ok to weld, in situ, if battery/ECU disconnected?
2. Will the CrestonHondaRosaRedNeck fix last a 3k ride?
3. What's the worst case scenario? Entire backend fall into tire?

Oh for fuks sake Carver.. You have a welder and I know damned well you can use it.. Toss those Appalachian fix it straps and fix it right you pussy.

DUDE...Can you stop braking breaking shit? How hard is it?

BTW, disconnecting the ECU and battery should be sufficient. AND, that zip-tie fix is probably stronger than the original weld. Ride the shit outta it.

Hey peckerwood? Ride the shit outa it??

Ferk man he does. Ya ever see what is on the ass end that he's gonna ride before he gets home nightly?



Kinda says why the rear subframe failed what with her propped up on it while gnat dick rails away on her.

Doode, all I have is Gas... and that's an aluminum piece yes?

Besides, have you seen my welds? JD Tractor approved, yes... but if I tried on KrZy8 it would be a flame throwing disaster...

Now *thats* the attitude I like! Rode a CB750 Honda for 1k miles with bailing wire when the subframe broke.. And in those days the fender *would* hit the tire!

Still wondering about all the electronics though.. Really, OK to Tig/Mig whatever is right weld in place?

Get it straight for once, will yah?

I'm called 'ThimbleDik' if you can recall Dollies ride report to you!

Ah crap dude.. Yer right, I made you look bad with the gnat dik comment. ...

Geez Don, if it wasn't for back luck, you'd have no luck at all! If'n you can't get it heliarc repaired by NAFO liftoff time, just add some JB weld along with those ty wraps and go fer it!

Duct tape and zip ties... backup plan, you can ride bitch with me. :lol:

Exactly! You must be a FARMER!

Those ty-raps did stabilize, if I carry light stuff in the top case, pretty sure it will be OK.

I ask again - worst case scenario is?

OK to weld in place? (battery, ECU disconnected?)

hmm. I DO just happen to have plenty of JB Weld material....

Not to change the topic, but it does sound like given the terrain you ride daily the next Yamaha you buy should be the Super Tenere

FUZZY BALLS!!

Ya might wanna invest in some serious ear protection though.. Carver and his mezzo soprano squeals can be painful.

Take it easy on it and leave a little early. I'll weld it when you pass through. If you want to do it right we can take it off and reinforce it but it will take longer so you would need to be a day early.

Great to have MATES. Have a great time at the NAFO.

Best regards

Ray, one of the two great buds to help transplant an engine into KrZ8!

Surly, will send you pix of NaFo... :yahoo:

A post of mine on the Aussie Forum.

I'm sure the welder used a high magnesium tig weld.

Aw shit....I forgot he was dating that chick that dumped you!. Broke Yer heart if I remember right...sorry man.

AND Carver, the Tig shouldn't push enough voltage to damage any wiring. Maybe enough to scramble the computer, but other than that, you should be good with just the major disconnects. If you're still not sure, take Ray up on his offer and take the sub frame off.

Don stick some some hose clamps on there and ride it to Rays....

Have your spot on and linked to this thread so we can follow the gnarly tractor up to Ray's...and help out if need be.

What the hell is it with you breaking shit, Carver? Sheesh...
