Subframe 101

All you need to straighten a subframe is some chain, a Peterbuilt, and a Suburban (in 4 wheel drive - or else it will spin on the concrete!)

Believe it or not this does work. I did the same thing, F350 and a Lincoln navigator. The looks I got having a $30,000 sled being yanked between 2 vehicles was priceless.

Okay, I've had a couple of questions on the rear axle.




It is entirely comprised of stock parts, with a bit of modification. The best part is... It cost me $0 and about 20 minutes, vs. the $90 axle kit.
  1. I re-mounted the adjusters to the outside of the rails.
  2. The one end of the axle has a bolt threaded into it - I removed the roll pin that kept the bolt in, took bolt out, drilled deeper into axle, rethreaded, cut axle to length, and reinstalled bolt and roll pin.
  3. I had to cut the original "center" spacer to length
  4. All of the existing spacers, etc. fit into place with no adjustments or trimming

Nytro vs. Apex

In a moment of "proximity problems", I met up with an Apex track in a full tilt carve... you can see who won :mad:

AAANNNNNDDD.... Apparently, the THIRD time you straighten a subframe, it will not stay put. This was not caused by the contact with the Apex... Just 2 days of hard riding.

Gunnar Killer Tether (or Teather, for non-spellers) Install

*EDIT*
I no longer recommend the Gunnar. Nearly everyone that has run one, has had it melt. The wiring tips below are good for any other Yamaha compatible tether you may use.

Here is how I installed the Gunnar Killer Tether.

This way omits the factory kill switch, and also allows for a quick swap back to the factory kill switch if you have a tether failure.

Here is where I put it on the bars:

Here are the wires that run from the flipper block:

You need to cut the Tan wire, as well as the Tan / White stripe wire in roughly this area

Attach the black ground of the tether to the steering gate.

WIRE AS FOLLOWS:
Tan wire with White stripe - Green lead of Gunnar
Tan Wire - Red lead of Gunnar


IF YOU WIRE THE GREEN AND RED BACKWARDS, THE TETHER WILL NOT WORK!!! It will only dim the lights on your dash display.

Ask if you have questions.
