STEERING PLAY

[InRBigness]

here is the steering kit from Porty Yamaha, where I got mine. Its on ebay but you can call them today. Its the little tri-angle that makes the difference. It is steel. Steering Post Mounting Bracket Upgrade Kit 2014-16 SR Viper, Cat 7000 ZR XF M | eBay

I also had huge trouble getting the bolt out due to the plate flexing and not holding it in tight. Took me four hours for that one. The second one was super easy and only took an hour and a half.

You're setting yourself up for disappointment if you do not install the Bell Crank Bushing from Mainway.
Lot's of play, going on down there, with the stock worn out plastic bushings.

This is stock plastic bushing residue stuck on the bell crank pivot shaft.



Mainway Solutions bronze bushings are close tolerance to the point that all paint has to be removed.



Even that small divot had to be removed or it would not fit.

I installed Mainway Solutions Bell Crank & A-Arm bushings. Also the OFT Steering Block.
Everything now is smooth as silk and snug.
Now, the only handle bar play is because of the 8000+ mile heim joints.
About 1/8 -1/4" max. I can live with that.

Guys, thanks for the help and guidance, I will secure the parts given the whole thing is torn apart at this time
