yes by all means.tell everyone why its worth a butt kicking.without seeing rod,it looks like its been plugged for tighter squeeze in crankcase and possible a little more torque down low.just guessing.

Guys here is my explain!

This crank don?t vibes at all in any range between 500-8500rpm. :evil:
It have changed balance factor, not only trued! 8-)

You know vibes eat horsepower and kill engine. :-P

You can?t outbalance a single cylinder engine,only put vibes somewhere it
pass very fast or for not so long period. :x

Stock balance factor is set for 5000 rpm ,for most of us never rev past that
rpm or for a very short time ,when you do MX.

This crank is heavier at opposite place were rod is located, because of tungsten is in that holes,not iron.
This crank vibes between 0-500 rpm or 8500 rpm and above.
So you can win 1500 rpm here and a lot of power without vibration! :wink:

Still worth it? :|

Your going to need the same piston,rings,pin and rod that your crank was balance for.
js,I bought it 2006 and it?s awesome(reduce engine braking and maintain more overrev),but your`e right about piston,rings and pin! :wink:

I think they used a oem crank and modified it...Bernt E were also very satisfied with this crank special made for his riding stile.
