Wossner has NOTHING to do with Wiseco!!!!!!!!!

I assemble a lot of motors monthly... I have got at least like 4+ to long wrist pins from Wiseco... Then yet again, I just said this on another forum, I have had Wossner piston with to long wrist pins also, there is the same thread on CR500 forum about wossner pistons... They are made in GERMANY.... This taiwan threads are getting bored.... If a Ford fails do you say Americans suck? If a BMW fails do German cars suck? If toyota engine fail 1 out of 1000 does Japan suck? I am just trying to make a point...

Could be a grooved clutch basket... Pull the clutch while the bike idles for a few seconds and listen if you still hear the noise....

Rods - I know this, been there done that... Made in Taiwan? I import direct from Taiwan, you would be surprise how many after market stuff comes from Taiwan... 6/10 is a example, doesnt matter if its only 3/10 which is good, fact is there is good stuff coming from Taiwan as well... Hotrods cranks... All made in Taiwan... Wiseco parts, made in Taiwan, gforce axles, made in taiwan, TUSK, made in Taiwan.... The list can go on and on...

Yamaha RD400 rods is 115mm you can fit, you can buy them in Pro X also... There are many made in Taiwan parts in the banshee world that holds up... 9/10 times you buy made in Japan you get good stuff... 6/10 times you buy made in Taiwan you get good stuff, this doesn't mean the 60% made in Taiwan is bad quality if it gets out of a good factory that knows metals and all with good quality control... Any part can fail.... period...

Sorry, correction... Pro X makes a bronze rod as well and they are all out Japanese rods... I would use them without a doubt... Stock OEM crank is as good as any other crank if not better!

3+ years ago, I mentioned I can buy cranks direct from Taiwan and that I do have a blue print from them to choose what cranks I want... I was told I am talking nonsense... I then posted the blueprint... That blueprint is the exact same crank that M&M sells... I have been selling them longer then probably anyone... Recently a friend of mine bought a complete serval package from Andy + a 4mm crank as I could not provide a 4mm at that stage, the parts are with me as I am building the motor... Putting his cranks next to mine, its exactly the same thing, rod stampings are the same "G115", both cranks are keyed in the center... These cranks has NEVER failed on me once and I have sold them in 7mms moslty due to the fact that I could buy quite a few 7mm for very cheap... The G115 rods has prove them self... Those years the manufacturer claimed the the rods are double shot peened... Excatly the same as Andy is also claiming if remember correctly, I don't know M&M at all, but running the same cranks, I can assure you its bulletproof stuff....

All these bronze rods are junk... The webs is fine, get the rods out and replace them with hot rods or RD400 Yamaha rods for 115mm... The G115 is the same as M&Ms cranks... Those G115 is double shot peened... And I haven't heard of any failure up to date and I sell them 2...

Taiwan products is far more superior to Chinese products... Taiwan = Republic of China... But for years Taiwan has delivered products that has proved they are worth it... There are companies in Taiwan with excellent quality control and standard... There is nothing wrong with a product which are designs and build for a specific purpose, never mind where its build... I have to agree, the guys complaining about the junk they bought which has failed in their motors are to blame... I try and fit top quality parts in my motors... People want to fit cheap stuff should expect less, they should also not complain when some of these parts doesn't even last half the time then proven parts or fail and destroys a $$$$ motor...
