What Crank to go with in a 2006 450er??

[BUBBA Livesay]

well my crank is shot in my XC race bike so im goin to have to purchase a new one. Im lookin for reliability and not lookin to stroke it out or anything but my question is would it be better to go back with the O.E.M. crank or go with hotrods or another manufacturer?? Im just lookin for the most reliable one, and if anyone has any comments on any they have good or bad luck with i would like to hear from ya! I figure OEM is usually bout the best quality so thats what im thinkin of goin with at the moment.

Thanks
Brent

The hot rods crank will work well.

OEM rod/crank asambily hold up better and longer than hot rod cranks

i had bought 1 hot rods crank and i have bough 3 oem cranks 2 of the 3 oem cranks went bad. the hot rods crank was still good when i sold the wheeler. in 4 years i went through 3 oem cranks.

thats what i told him but he is a cheap @ss. :rolleyes:

ive always had good luck with oem

Can't go wrong with a stock crank. If you plan on putting more stress (high comp, etc) on the crank, I'd recommend Falicon.

I've heard great things from Baldwin about these cranks.
