SB. Is there any literature on the site to explain crank balance factors?

sandblaster:
There are several threads relating to it.

Since yours is a different chassis design it would be hard to get the balance factor you need unless someone else has done the homework.... So in the very least, get it balanced.

Motorrad:
Id do a ton of research what balance factors quads are running

Chassis harmonics. :wink:

I read a document that Larry posted, found it in search function. Very good literature, by reading it I'm not to act like I completely get it. But it did help me understand the basics. This is the stuff my engine builder talks to me about every few years. Ive never had a conversation about the Kx500 engine. Ill keep reading to better understand. This K5 tecate may be a couple years away. I believe all the balancing is done by falicon

Yours was actually one of the ones I know of that works.

Does someone in your clan still have the white and pink tecate 4?

I think I just got lucky, and got a good crank I spent quiet a bit of time making sure it was true. No fancy mounting its just solid mounted. It does vibrate but is still very ride able It will wear me out a lot quicker than a 250 but that's just how 500s are.
Ya I saw your message the other day my daughter still has the pink and white T4 but has been talking about a color change if I ever get the time to re due it
