Before i went with my builder i talked to cam at redline and was telling him about the package deal i planned to buy to see if he offered a better deal, because i heard he also got good numbers from servals He couldn't match the price but he said if i was gonna run that crank he would recommend i used HR rods I didn't listen............. Weird how all this is coming back to me now.. I even had WACKO2000 offer to sell me a low hour crankworks crank for the exact price i was paying for the other 1 but i thought a zero hour crank would be better sorry i'm posting soo much i'm just venting Also still as of right now i still have no ill feelings toward my builder... we talked and i'm gonna call when he opens...

yeah i think its like dajogejr says it probably bent the rod on that initial kick back But i swear the bike revved fine... I know because i always check my tail pipes for even pressure after warm up But what i don't get is i have seen ALOT of bikes kick back, my uncles drag bike has broken more than 1 clutch covers, Hes actually running a welded cover as we speak. The bike FELT fine until i got at the top of second then it started to hesitate. so i turned back... I wasn't even in the throttle i live in a gated community, stop signs almost every block Shit sucks because the only reason i was even riding it was because my daily driver (4stroke) dropped a valve and killed my crank rod, piston, cylinder, and head the day before. Both my bikes in less than 36hrs. I rode my streetbike and prayed it wouldnt have the same fate.

fat fingered that i meant to post 13 hrs

16hrs and some change on my trail tech

Oh and they are g-115 rods Sent from my Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 2

Oh and disregard the remark about the rods being marked g-115 I think I read that somewhere and mis remembered it g-115 is hjr's rods This thread has nothing to do with hjr I will reveal the sponsor after we come to some sort of agreement I don't know what to expect tho I hope he doesn't blow me off Sent from my Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 2

Yeah I'm not like that Bud. U fair with me im fair with u and so far he's been ok with me. Even thou its kind of hard not to be pissed when i specifically questioned his cranks wen i first talk to him I dont see what i could have done to cause a rod to snap... If anyone has any ideas please share so i can be sure to look 4 it on tear down in the morning Sent from my Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 2

Probably tomorrow I couldn't drag myself to tear into it today Sent from my Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 2

also builder is a site sponsor

not in person on forums

i've seen 1 or 2 of the no name silver rods snap also.

No I believe they are a silver rod.... Or at least that's what's sticking through my cases Believe they said g-115 Sent from my Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 2

Pretty sure it wasn't a hydrolock my uncle street drags and that was the main thing I was taught to look out 4 I always check for fuel coming out the exhaust and I always check my over flows I seen it happen to my uncles bike so I know what to look for I can even eat dinner this shit is really bothering me I just spent like 2800 on this bike shits got me sick...

i haven't pulled it yet scared what i might find... mayb 2 morrow

mayb i was warned by a bunch of people not to buy my crank from this builder but i did anyway I don't wanna mention his name yet because we haven't talked yet but i hope like hell he can help me out.

gas was off its on alky so i know for a fact .... compression is 165 timing is on +5 don't think any water got into my cylinders. i don't see how it could have

Went to start my bike up today after having it sit for a week or 2 gave her a few slow kicks then i kicked hard.... she kicked right back and broke my clutch cover. I installed my spare, warmed her up and off i went. i went about 2 blocks and i felt a slight hesitation so i turned back.. I had her about mid throttle 2nd gear and i heard some loud clanking and she came to a stop. I looked down to see my left crank rod sticking thru my cases.. WTF I Just put this bike together a few months back, i hardly rode it... other than a few street races ( like 5) I went with this builder because i heard he was getting huge gains out of these servals, I also heard he was using junk rods but i chose to ignore after speaking with him. I havent had a chance to speak with him yet i just needed to vent. I'm pretty sure my cylinders are crap... I'm too afraid to tear into it. It had to be the rods right? the bike was running perfect...
