I think it is just crappy thread cut and or flat out wrong thread cut.... Anyone else get burned on this tool?

Did anyone ever use one? I just went to use mine for the first time ever today and it does not want to thread in at all and I am not forcing it. Are Kawi plug threads different than Yami? Is it possible he sent me the wrong one? I definitely specified Yami.

LOL won't be the first time I have seen that here....not even close!

Now you will hear from a bunch of flatwater cruiser types that, "have had zero issues!". LOL.

Lets just say this...they crumble all at once and take out expensive stuff with them. OEM's fail one at a time after quite a long time and give you a warning if you are paying attention. That is me being nice. Another way to say it is they suck ssssssssssssssssuuuuuuuuuuper bad and what good...

Wow I can't believe people are still trying anything other than OEM! Jeesh people need to speak up!

That does not sound wise at all!

I had to look up pics. It appears it has zero dampening???

I hope you love it and never ever look back! You should love it!

It is going to want to be ridden very aggressively! Post a side shot so we can see pole length and ride plate length. If it has a front foot hold you are going to want to slam into it often while throwing the nose down hard.

Cool never saw a billet mid housing!

Along with the 12 ton press, snap ring pliers, and a propane or map gas torch, and grease and paper towels of course, this is all ya need unless you just use ovens and freezers! As much as I dislike this particular job I am very glad I can now do it myself pretty quickly...

That is my plan....I am trying to get the rest done today! And like it was said up there ^^...a little heat on the long shaft bearings and they fall right on to the long shaft super easy.

@blaster800

At the very least just to heat up the long shaft bearings so they quickly and easily fall right on!

Yes a "old" cut shaft with a nut welded on!

More helpful goodies from the maniac!

I did....and all went well. I was just wondering if the second clip should be tight up against the bearing. It is not...just a tiny gap. I'll tell ya what though after investing in this press and replenishing my map gas this job ain't so bad at all. I'll be doing them from here on out after...

Midshaft question: Do the clips fit snug against the bearing or is there a tiny gap?

I melted off a old motor mount top plate and it fits dang near perfectly!
