all of the mods i have on my quad now allows it to wind out further with more power up top. but im afraid to really hit the high notes because my bottom end is still stock. if i replace the old stock crank bearing(s) with better ones should i be safe to really wind her out? i mean im pretty sure the stock crank and rod are safe, but im really afraid of a bearing down there spinning out so do you think that if i replace the stock bearings with better aftermarket ones or whatever, that ill be able to safely rev high as crap? i know the stock crank and rod are heavy and slow the engine down a lot, but i think theyre safe atleast... if you dont think so, tell me.

SO BASICALLY i know it can rev high as **** right now, but i dont think its safe to do so with the stock crank bearings. im thinking if i change them out, itll be reliable in the higghhhhh RPMs

what do u think?

You should be fine with the bearings that are in it right now...a 300ex doesnt rev high enough to hurt it anyway.
