ok. can someone tell me the real deal on trueing and welding banshee cranks. when my motor blew i had to bore it and was gonna have my crank welded. i like to jump mine and ive been told that jumping a banshee with a un welded crank will cause it to go out of phase and f stuff all up. so anyway i went to all of my local quad shops and they all said that it would be a waste of my time because my motor isnt very hopped up. so i just wanna know the truth. they were saying that landing from a jump with the gas on is no different then dumping your clutch in a drag race. they said it would put the same amount of stress on the crank either way. so whats the truth. is it something i should think about on my bike. or should i just go with a hotrods stock stroke crank that is already welded? and sorry for stealing someelses post.

Jeff at farm and sand toys did mine. turned out good. If you have the motor apart you might as well do it for cheap insurance.

Im sendign my jugs to Kevin Herr of Herr Jugs to get ported, im going to have my crank trued and welded because its out, and will make the bottom end more reliable. If you have a stock motor with pipes and a k&n, i wouldnt worry about it

I've seen stock motors with only an air filter separate the crank.

I've seen full bolt on bikes never have a problem...

 

So...it's really a matter of luck vs. insurance...

 

When a crank goes, it usually takes at the least a piston with it, possibly a rod, cylinder sleeve...etc.

 

that being said, it's insurance I like to invest in....

 

It's usually 75 to 125 bucks, give or take...
