    i will be fitting my polini evo 3 cylinder soon

    the other mods are:
    Athena HPC crank (same as stage6)
    Yasuni c21
    Oko 24mm
    stage6 inlet, reed block etc
    Polini variator
    Top racing primary gear up 15/38
    (the kit i have on now is a stage6 sport pro)

    im not using the scooter as a mode of transport just as a bit of fun but im slightly worried about the reliability of the crank because of the high revving evo as one of my mates shattered his crank bearings in his MHR crank with a MHR racing kit

    is it ideal just to put some new crank bearings in my Athena crank or is it a better idea to get a new crank? the Athena has about 2000km on it

    can you please recommend a good crank for my set up? and would you recommend any other parts?

    thanks

    2k on a performance crank is nothing. I'd change the bearings though.
