Wiseco cranks

[atv fan 28]

Here is my Wiseco crank after 5 tanks of gas. I knew i should have went with an oem one. But at the time i was just trying to save a buck, but in the long run its gonna cost me alot more. You learn from your mistakes i suppose.

The SAME thing happened to my wiseco last summer.....maybe had 20 hrs on it...maybe. I know I should have gotten an OEM crank after that, but decided to give hot rods a try....good luck so far.

en 'at was a strong pullin' lil ole engine too. i aint liking 'em aftermarket cranks very much these days. :ermm:

[atvmxr]

geez... Im scared to say anything.. but my HR crank is still going strong after4-5 years and alot of fuel/races...
must have got the only good one they made! :huh


maybe its a 250 vs 330+ issue? the bigger motors put more strain on the crank and the HR was only built for a 250? :confused:

there are very few of them out there and those are the long rod variety. i have my oem's rebuilt regardless if its the short, long or special purpose

man that sucks.... what weird is wiseco makes the best pistons for a 2-stroke (imo) And they make the worse crank for a 2-stroke... ?

You take your pick which would you rather have?

I would rather have a wiseco crank do that than an oem crank do this!

i havent check as of lately. so, i dunno if the long rods are still avail or not. i do know that the short rods arent(the one i use). as of last evening, i've used the last of my reserve and now if i'm doing a refresh i have to build a crank. regardless.
