Yamaha YTM225 question!

[yamaha225dr]

hey, if you think that is trouble just wait till you go to put it back together and you have to align the driveshart it took three floorjacks and me, my dad, and another guy to get the trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro aligned on my dr when my swingarm bearings went out.

is the screw all rusted up..if so try puting some naval jelly on it( its a pinkish color rust remover) let that sit for about 3 minutes clean it all off with engine degreaser and oil it up again

[Quickonstep]

thats the thing, it looks BRAND NEW! it aint reverse threaded is it? if it is, that would explain alot..

[trimoto225dxl]

nope...regular right hand thred

Soak them with penitrating oil for a couple of days.Then take the next size allen bit on a socket then put on a couple of extensions and it till it fits snug..Then put a ratchet to it.Then give all you got with your body weight.That may help.

FINALLY those damn swingarm bolts came out.. i went all the way up to a 8mm from a 6mm, still boogerin up the holes... so i went down to the hardware store and got some good penetrating oil (partly because i was out anyways) sprayed it on there, still not coming out.. drilled it out, still not coming out, banged a socket on it, DONE DEAL! thats good money right there

Hello,
I have a yamaha 225dr , I just replaced the rearend on it and it work excellent and i was driving down the tracks i hit a jump and when i landed i broke the swing arm in two. Now im stuck trying to get the bolt that connects the swingarm to the frame. Any idea how to get it off? I hit it with a 8pound sluge and a gun , im sure it goes from right to left. any suggestions??

STOP hitting it with a ... it's not a solid one piece bolt like on a 250R, 200X or 250X! Remember, it's shaft drive.... it doesn't go straight through as the drive shaft is in there! You have to remove the big arse lock nuts... and then use a 6mm hex head to back out the pin on EACH side separately!!!

i may have a new old school race bassani pipe system for the yamaha 225's. let me know if interested.

Ya i rezlied it wasnt a big bolt when i looked at where the drive shaft sits. I got the locknuts off it took alot of heat but i did, now im stuck trying to get the two pins out they r both trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro up and where the allen key goes its all full of dirt and rust!!

BTW I put a couple coats on black spray paint on my new swing arm/rear diff/rearskid, It looks good should i go and paint the motor too or not?? I have bought a 6mm snap on allen wrench hopfully ill have some luck with this.
