UPDATE

OMI Mount for the steering stem MOUNT ($54 shipped to your door) http://www.omiproducts.com/Steering%20Stem%20Mount%20Yamaha.htm 
installed cured the PLAY. The old mount sucked and was bone dry (no greese) This one has a zirk fitting so it should last extra long.
(just a side note. You need to remove all front plastics and gas tank to install this. i am by no means machanically inclide but i was able o do this!)

Adjusting steering cured - to do this i removed the bottom large bolt on the steering stem. And took off the pitman arm, then straightend my wheels, and handle bars, and put back the pitman arm.

Tie Rod - was a piece of cake. I marked where the tierod was threaded in at each side. and installed the new rod in the same position(to ensure same toe in)Thank for the help hopefully this helps some one in the future.
Hey dmx, its OMI not EMI  :lol:  I would measure your toe in to be sure, using the old settings is a great way to ball park it but not 100% accurate. I read a tip in Quad magazine, use tie down straps from the handle bars to the grab bar to keep the handle bars straight for alignment purposes  :thumbs:

OMI EMI WHOS COUNTING?

haha thanks for the correction. AND yeah thanks for that tip AFTER I DID MY ALIGNMENT! haha i spent a good 45 minutes messing with it to get it right. its ok my brothers raptor is out of spec i will def. use the tie down trick on his!!!
