prb Posted October 24, 2009 Report Posted October 24, 2009 I just bought a 01 banshee for 350.00 and it needs a new crank. I just want to know how good wiseco cranks are. There is a new crank and gasket kit on ebay for under 300.00 .Just wanted to know how good they are.Thanks for any help. Quote
crustydemon Posted October 24, 2009 Report Posted October 24, 2009 Welcome to the HQ. Wiseco and Hotrods cranks are very good and that doesnt sound like too bad a price. $350 for a 01, Wish I could come across a deal like that. Quote

AKheathen Posted October 26, 2009 Report Posted October 26, 2009 hell yah that's a deal. those pipes are frakin awesome, plus, the stock shocks really leave something to be desired if you ride hard at all. Quote
T McLennan Posted October 30, 2009 Report Posted October 30, 2009 I Bought one of the Ebay cranks they sell as a Wiseco. They're a knock off! The pics show a wiseco but you get a taiwan made unit in a bag. My real Wiseco crank arrived in a Wiseco box, with paperwork.I was replacing a Wiseco crank that dropped a rod bearing. The two are nothing alike. The hot rods cranks are much nicer than either of these. The wiseco is not rebuildable as far as crank pins are concerned. They are part of the counterweight, not press out type. Was it worth $300? We'll see! but it's not a wiseco. Quote
