I have a 99 banshee the top end just went but, I notice that one of the rods had an offal lot of play in it. Are the cranks worth rebuilding. If so how hard they to do, and what this that I

it all depends on what kind of riding you do.if you like drag racing then do a 4mil long rod but you have to have your cylinders done for it to make it worth wild and also different pistons and have the head cut for clearance.if do alot of trail riding and so on just buy another stock crank that is welded or that is in good shape and have it welded.you could spend the extra money to buy a new stock stroke hotrod crank but i wouldn't cause sooner or later you will probly want to be faster and get a stroker crank.its all in what kind of riding you do

How much horse power have you heard of people getting up to with a stock crank.

get ahold of kevin at herrjugsracing.com he will give you a good idea on hp numbers on stock stroke and stroker motors.everybody will say different but kevin is a good honest guy.

If you get a stroker crank don't run a spacer plate, get the head work.
