Hi was just wondering if i could have some advice..
whats the risk of running a 70kit on a standerd crank..?
if you dont rag your ped all the time with a 70kit on and a standerd crank will it last?

depends what mileage is on the crank and how its been treated, if its been run on low quality oil and has been ragged around with a fair bit of mileage, id replace it.

Sw1fT#4

how many miles till u fink u need a new crank? ( using a 70 kit)
Warnsey#8
am i right in saying you would never need to replace your crank again if you swap the standerd one with a betta crank made for using on 70kits..
Sw1fT#9
no..

every crank has a life capacity, as they say, nothing lasts forever.
Warnsey#10
is it worth getting a better crank then or just use a 70kit on it til the crank goas?
Sw1fT#11
when the crank goes, you risk taking out the 70kit and everything on the transmission.
