I've never used IMS in a k5 but have installed them in a couple cr5's and many other smaller bikes. They worked fine for me but everything I put them in was pretty much stock. I don't know detailed specs of IMS rods. I would imagine they would be better than stock and able to handle some mods.
It's hard to keep a drivers license riding a 2 stroke dirt bike on the street.  If you drive within the law they are VERY boring.

Hey Dutchie.
Have you weighed the two to see if there is any difference?
Thanks!


Finally have found our scale :lol:
Weight is in grams, like in 1000gram in 1Kilogram. Just to be clear.

Total weight of Rod:   Vesrah  296gr              OEM    281gr
Bigend side                          183gr                        167gr
Smallend side                       114gr                        114gr

Bigend pin                            154gr                        160gr
Cage with pins                       36gr                          36gr
Total                                  486gr                        477gr

So the Vesrah weight   9gr more, only on the Bigend side.

Hope this helps :-)
