RZ Crank v Banshee Crank

[Yaxy]

The RZ project is going full speed ahead next month. My new cases are in and it is time to swap everything over. As a safeguard I confirm part intrachangeablility on a on-line fishce system. I checked the cases and am fine, but does anyone know why the RZ crank part number would be different the the shee crank part number? Through my experiences other than the tranny gears, powervalves and head all the parts are exacly the same.

 

Thanks

Chris

i always thought the rz crank was 8mm longer than a stock banshee crank.

8 mm longer! That is the first time I have heard that. People use the RZ cylinders on banshee cases so wouldn't that cause a port timing issue if there was a 8 mm difference?

He's confusing RZ with RD with get's more complicated with certain parts of the world referring to the RZs as RDs. I don't "think" there is much if any difference. THe part number difference may come from a different one being used since certain RZ parts are discontinued. Try to buy RZ shift forks from Yamaha and they will send you Banshee forks.

Thanks Broke, Ya you are right on the forks, I tried that a couple of months ago and the part number has been superceded. If I remember correctly you can't buy new RZ cases anymore. I will check the online fishe but last time I checked new Yamaha RZ cases were unavailable.

Does anyone have anymore input on this subject? My banshee is up and running and it is time to get the RZ together for it's new home.
