ENGINE VIBRATION COSTS YOU POWER & MONEY

                                             Suzuki RM owners take note!

You want the most out of your motor don't you?  The crank is the heart of your motor. The factory bikes all have balanced cranks, why not you.  Once you ride a bike with a balanced crank, you will realize why it is important.

1/4 oz. of imbalance @ 8000 RPM's causes 114 lbs. of force on your main bearings.  This force, known as imbalance, can be controlled. We have found that most stock OEM cranks have about 1/2 oz. of imbalance.  If you have either an overbore or a stroker it is even more significant.

Crank balancing is the removal or adding of material without the connecting rod in place.  This is not to be confused with truing.

For the shops doing their own cranks, you can ship us the crank assembled without the rod & bearing.  We will balance it to the parts you send us (top end, rod, bearings). 

For the consumer you send us your crank as is with the top end you will be running and your choice for rod kit.  We can also supply both.

Balance - $175 Assembled crank w/o rod, removing material
Balance - $275 Assembled crank w/o rod, adding heavy metal
Complete Crank - $325 disassemble, assemble, balance, disassemble & assemble/true (metal removal)
Complete Crank - $425 as above, adding heavy metal
