Aftermarket Crank
reknelb:
from what I understand, you can never truely balance a crank. What they do is move the vibration into a different rpm range. EX., If you run wide open desert, they can balance your crank so the bulk of the vibes happen in the low and mid and smooths out in high rpms. This is what I've read, I'm not an expert on the topic so I could be totally wrong. :D
kawdude:
You're correct. That's the same information I've found. I guess what it comes down to is how much the vibration will be reduced with truing alone. Maybe my crank is not out of true. I have no way of knowing.
YUNGGUNNAZ:
Has anyone tried Falicon about balancing. I talked to them months ago and was told they did the two stroke single and was getting a lot of work.Price was i think around 250.
kawdude:
I wound up sending my crank to Gorr for the rebuild. Sent it monday of this week and rec'd it back on thursday. Pretty good service! I'm most impressed. I'm sure that this was not the crank I'd sent but that's ok. Of course at this point, I have no idea if it's true or not...
Sharc:
Hope it works for you Kawdude. I've heard mixed reviews of Gorr's work. My friend has a KTM 300 and got the $1,000 "works" 310 kit. It blew up first ride, Gorr fixed it free, not it's fast but pipey...
