Do I need to get my crank welded?

[06bluebanshee]

Hello guys. I have a 2006 Banshee with about 30 hours of ride time on it. I have PC pipes, V force 3 reeds, stock carbs, K&N filter with open air box, everthing else is stock. I'm thinking about getting a dune/play port done and maybe adding some 21cc domes and a cool head. My question is if i get the porting done, do I need to get my crank welded? Or will it be okay? How much horsepower will I have then? Thanks guys!!

U dont have to but i spun mine out of true drag racing with a stock motor. Might as well do it once u got the juggs off. Just split the cases and pop the crank out.

My first crank let go with a bone stock motor that had a set of pipes on it. Every bike I have had since then gets the crank welded before I do anything else to it. It is cheap insurance, and that way you don't damage any of the go fast goodies that you have spent good money on. I firmly believe that anything high performance should be built reliable BEFORE it is built fast.

yes, always weld the stock crank if you have the time and money.
