SandSlingerOR Posted June 28, 2017 Report Posted June 28, 2017 Bought a kit for my 250r years ago and I'm currently installing more of the alloy bolts on it, and they are great. Quote
rubberneck Posted June 28, 2017 Report Posted June 28, 2017 I always use blue loctite on stainless. I like to use the "gluestick" form so there is no fucking mess. I hate using antiseize unless i have to cause that shit gets all over everything. the loctite provides some lubrication to prevent any sort of gaulling and keeps your shit from rattling loose and falling off. Blue is easily removed with hand tools so no worries there. 1 Quote
ginger Posted June 28, 2017 Report Posted June 28, 2017 normally the kits have nylon lock nuts, so you dont have to worry about it rattling loose. Quote

ginger Posted June 28, 2017 Report Posted June 28, 2017 i ever use grease when assembling regular stuff, makes taking it apart in the future much easier. Quote

Try using TI to TI drySee that all the time when apprentices are in a rush to put down the carbon fiber floorboards, no lube plus rushing equals instant bind. Then removing them is a mother F×!_er.

spurdy Posted June 29, 2017 Report Posted June 29, 2017 What he said! ^^^Anytime a vendor asks you to do something additional and you don't do it, they can claim you didn't follow directions whether said activity was needed or not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Canadianshee Posted June 29, 2017 Report Posted June 29, 2017 But he tried the anti seize after he was told to and the nuts still would not thread on. So what is the conclusion of this thread? The OP ruined all $128 worth of his fasteners by not using anti seize on the first nut he tried to thread on? I will never purchase a kit from this company after reading about this terrible customer service. I would rather give my business to a local hardware store. I have no experience with this company. That said I'm sure there are two sides to the story, but for the cost of hardware to the company is pale in comparison to future revenue losses of poor customer support. One would think they would have asked for the hardware back to do their independent audit just in case they have a bad batch and offer new hardware at a discount ECT Sent from my LG-H831 using Tapatalk 1 Quote
rjdgriff Posted June 29, 2017 Report Posted June 29, 2017 I have used alloy and had great luck. I called them on the phone and they were easy to reach, very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I still have not seen these "emails" that were exchanged. I say if he can not show these emails that this thread be removed. It is currently unbacked slander.

sheerider11 Posted July 1, 2017 Report Posted July 1, 2017 You started this on the yfz forum too. You still never posted anything there. Like I said, I got the first yfz450R kit ever. They actually put it together for me and now sell it. I talked to them a few times during the week to get it done. They were easy to deal with. And when they sent me a regular 450 kit I called, they sent me a 450r kit with a prepaid shipping sticker. That easy Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk Quote
special06shee Posted July 1, 2017 Report Posted July 1, 2017 I still say the alloy boltz kit suck. I bought a whole kit. I know anti seize should be used but i refused. I had two bolt seize up just trying to tighten them. Had to cut them to get apart. Then i reluctantly got out the anti seize and slopped up the bolt... same fucking result. The whole bolt kit got tossed in a box. They are fucking junk. 1 Quote
