As title, flywheel shaft is bent, going to get a second hand OE crank, but need to know what years I can use.

Looking at new crank kits, it seems to run from 1992 to 2001, is that correct?

Thanks

Not currently available from my supplier, and for the price of it I could get a non OE crank brand new.

If it were me and I wanted to get the most out of my crank I would find a used OEM crank and rebuild it with a Wossner rod kit.
I would really shy away from other non OEM cranks.
The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

That's what I would prefer to do, have messaged a few sellers on ebay but not heard back yet.

Also wary of getting sent a paper weight like the one I have eg. Worn bearings seats/ bent shafts/worn splines.

Read the description for damage... Make sure the Condition is Used... Pay with PayPal... Your covered.
If you receive a item not as described you will get all your money back as well as return shipping if the seller want's it back.
About 30 percent of used parts I buy off eBay turn out to be junk.
Following the easy steps above I have always received my money back whether or not the seller agreed to it.
