streetshee Posted November 16, 2003 Report Posted November 16, 2003 hi there,ive got about 11,500kkm on the street with my shee,im not a soft rider,basicly i hammer her a lot,(every day like u should do,its good for the nerves!) and am thinking about doing a top end rebuild anyway in the next 2-3000km,my question is,is it worth doing the crank at same time? i look after her but shee must work for a living!

streetshee Posted November 17, 2003 Author Report Posted November 17, 2003 what i mean is,i dont want her to blow up in the middle of nomans land,would like to keep her in top shape,how long should a hard worked crank last on the street?would like maybe to port and polish her too,anybody heard of stan stevens tuning in england?

SICK BOY Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 When you get the top end off,check the play in your rods.This should tell you if you need to mess with the crank. Quote
streetshee Posted November 18, 2003 Author Report Posted November 18, 2003 yeh have thought about rings,but should the bore be honed? or just replace em? original or aftermarket? i must say a great congratulations and well done for such a good and informative site,wickid! Quote
streetshee Posted November 18, 2003 Author Report Posted November 18, 2003 i was also thinkin of buildin a stroker motor from her,i have a rd400e motor at home,what parts from it can i use,i think the rods? the crank is different isnt it? cos i got tz bearings on it i think? has only done 100km since rebuild,then i shagged a piston!
