| Crank Balancing |
|
Engine vibration costs you power and money...Make it right with expert crank balancing, and save on both.
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 so 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 at every revolution. This force, known as imbalance can be controlled. We have found that most stock OEM cranks have about 1/2 oz of imbalance, some up to 50 grams. 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.
For the shops doing their own cranks, you can ship us the crank assembled with the rod & bearing. We will balance it to the parts you sent 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 also can supply both.
