Troy, you wanna chime in with your thoughts on the hot rod crank?

Troy, you wanna chime in with your thoughts on the hot rod crank?

I'd be interested to hear his thoughts on it now that he has run it hard as well. I was a little leary of them based on what I have seen on their cranks in the 660's as well as the Honda 450R's, but it sound like their a viable option on the 700R based builds

I like it, I like it alot

Were talkin cranks not HAWG!!!

[Troy]

I will say that it seems to be a great crank for the money, no vibration, no loss of top end, in fact my bike is all topend now with no loss in bottom end.  So far so good, just have to weed out the weak links that are showing up here and there.  Now I just need to get the lockup and clutch tossed in and try to get to Little Sahara next week.

I like the hoggin too, good hoggin in Nebraska if anyone is interested

I like the Hot Rod crank because they are a local company, and Tony Tice man still has the hookup's with them.

BUT

We put a +3 crank in a buddys YFZ and it would vibrate you teeth out after two laps on the track! It had full suspension with antivibe everything too boot. It was so bad that it wore out BRAND new crank bearing and sent the piston into the head/valves, cracked the piston, sent the wrist pin into the tranny, then the piston through the side of the cylinder.

But after seeing how smooth Troys bike ran last weekend it reinstill my warm fuzzy feeling with them.

And yes, good hoggin in Nebraska.

Thats good to hear.......I might be doing a build for a buddy who wants the HR +5mm crank.

Preddy Rich's Honda 450 in our camp has the hotrod +3 crank in it and it doesn't vibrate, for some reason those yamaha 450 cranks are very very nasty, so much so you can barely hang on to them.  I know I'll eventually go bigger with the motor but I have no regrets at all so far going with the hot rod.  I will admit I was a little bit nervous about getting it with the problems the 660's have been having but so far so good.  Time will tell for sure, I only have a few weekends on this setup so I'll keep my fingers crossed,lol.

Ok.....you do not have to do any trenching of any cases for stroker cranks, thats in banshees. In 700 motors the first thing you come to is the counterweights. The max limit on a stock crank for a stroke is +12 because you get to the end and it is tapered making it weaker. Any more than that and you should go billet, which may require very little machining on the counters for clearance......oh and this is with a barker rod, its a smaller bearing rod.
