Hello
I have been reading with much interest on stewards articles about crank truing.
Can you really make one of these not vibrate?
I have a 93 K5 that I put into a 84 T3 and am in the process of putting a 98 K5 in a 87 T4 but just thought I would have to deal with the vibes.
my first bike was a 75 kx 250 ( which I would love to have back but cant seem to locate one any where) in 86 I bought a brand new K5 and fell in love with these engines but am getting older so I find that 4 wheels are a little easier on me. Here are a couple pics of my childrens and my Tecates.

Welcome to the site. Lots of green in your lineup. My 92 500 didn't vibrate so it can be done. Cam.

I want a 86 or 87 T3 also.
Steward have you ever built a K5 for a quad apllication?
Something about the geometry of the 4 wheels compared to the 2 always brings out the vibes that you never new existed before.
I plan on having my frame ready somtime the first of the yr.Then I think I will send you some parts. it would sure be nice to do this with out the vibes.
I have heard a lot of people try to get ride of the vibs with little sucess.having Falcon balance them is supposed to help some but I have never heard of any one being really happy with the results.

Wow! that is a line up of toys. Have you joined 3wheelerworld.com yet?
I have an 86 KXT250 Tecate and a 96 KX500 motor for a transplant. Also looking at a 1986 KX500.
Both sites are great with good board members. Good luck!
