hi the crank im about to shove in the new engine has 13k km as far as im aware on it and ive been reccomended by a mate its time to change it i wanted to know peoples opinions on when they need changing since ive owned the bike it has been stock but tbh i dont know about before i had it. the spec will be 172 28mil carb evo reedblock polini inlet 12.5g rollers blue clutch springs stock pipe airfilter
whenever i tune a motor the first thing on the list is a new crank, if i lets you down, at best it's another rebuild and a crank, at worst it chews your variator, sends shit up the barrel, locks solid and throws you off, then the bike proceeds to flip landing on every pannel on its way down the road. unlikely though. my answer would be get a BGM crank.
lol when i told him to get one he really wasn't happy lol in fact he said that sometimes im a real bastard hahaha lol but a bastard would have let you build it m8
:bird: still think ur a bastard mate lol na joke erm is there any wer i can get a crank at a reasonable price around the £100 mark?
Not likely really unless you go for a standard type one, which will give you a lack of crank case compression. The best i can find is: mazzuchelli on the VE site for £165 inc vat or PM's "racing crankshaft" for £149.95 i never thought i'd say it but the PM would be the one i'd go for.
:msn1: well ill be damned sum 1 is actualy recommending pm ok cheers mate ill have a look at it seems like an expencive item but i spose while cases are open may aswel change it
I look at it as a money and time saver, at the end of the day you are upping the power which shortens the lifespan of a crank, a crank that already has 13,000 km on it is about halfway through its normal life (some go a lot more some go less) but if you put a new crank in there then you know it's not going to explode and cost you another 172 kit.
the pm tuning one is not including vat, its actually cheaper to buy the pm crank through psn atm than through pm themselves! :wtf: lol the top racing from donotlink is actualy cheapest atm, and is just another rebranded bgm (pm/top racing etc)
alright thanks for the info ill look into getting myself a new crank ...its amazing how you think itll be cheaper to get a 125 172 it and then have a fast bike all the shit for a 70 seems alot cheaper overall lol
