gotta_goatsfast Posted September 1, 2012 Report Posted September 1, 2012 I got my Crank yanker from fast also. No man, you got your crank yanked by FAST Quote
94BANSHEE Posted September 2, 2012 Author Report Posted September 2, 2012 No man, you got your crank yanked by FAST I got suckered into that one, haha But I read there are special clips around the crank. Do those pop out easily or are just sitting in grooves? Quote
gotta_goatsfast Posted September 2, 2012 Report Posted September 2, 2012 Its just a retaining clip... a half clip actually. It guides the crank and keeps it from walking side to side. Call Jeff (for real this time) and ask him for a full c-clip for the crank. Actually, pick up two of them. One will fit the large bearing on the transmission that also uses a half c-clip. If you plan on reusing the stock crank, its a strong piece if you send it to Jeff so he can true it up and weld the crank pin. Its cheap insurance for a reliable build. Also pick up a pancake bearing for your clutch assembly (or you may weld your ball to your shaft ) and a steel bushing to replace the bronze one on the kicker idler gear (the bronze wears enough to cause the idler gear to cock sideways enough to catch the clutch gear causing mayhem). Lastly, you owe it to your shee to grab a billet water pump impeller. The stocker is plastic and is brittle. These are all cheap parts from FAST racing and it offers piece of mind. All I ask in return, is that you brief us on your converstion with Jeff! Quote

94BANSHEE Posted September 2, 2012 Author Report Posted September 2, 2012 Haha i dont trust you this time i might get a crazy surprise in the mail Quote
94BANSHEE Posted September 2, 2012 Author Report Posted September 2, 2012 (edited) Thx for the tips gotta go fast! Usually do all of the c-clips etc. come with an aftermarket crank like hot rod? Edited September 2, 2012 by 94BANSHEE Quote
Nieskes Posted September 2, 2012 Report Posted September 2, 2012 Not sure about others unfortunately, but hotrods cranks use orings to keep the bearings in place. Quote
gotta_goatsfast Posted September 2, 2012 Report Posted September 2, 2012 The O-rings keep the bearings from spinning.... but an o-ring won't stop a crankshaft from walking sideways. I've got a hotrods 58mm stroke 115 rod crank and it still has the groove on the PTO side bearing for the c-clip. I suggest a full c-clip over the half c-clip that yamaha uses... especially if you're running the stock helical primary gears. Quote
94BANSHEE Posted September 2, 2012 Author Report Posted September 2, 2012 Do the vendors who sell hot rod on here offer the full clip? Quote
gotta_goatsfast Posted September 2, 2012 Report Posted September 2, 2012 Geez man, these are simple parts! Check it out.... FAST C-clip Quote
