KFX 450 Crank what to buy??

[Dirtjunkie85]

Well I took my OEM crank up to get rebuilt but wear the bottom bearing had gone out in the rod it made a grove in the crank so the machine shop told me it was junk so now my question is do I put another OEM crank in it or do I buy a aftermarket crank and if after market is the way to go what brand, I called Hot Rods and they wont have one until late may early June I really dont want to wait that long??

I ended up needing a entire crank assembly so I just purchased OEM again hopefully it will hold up.

should if ur not doing any major motor work...if you are doing motor work i would have went aftermarket crank

How did you know your crank bearing was going out? What was your quad doing?

It started making a real loud knocking nosie and I lost power so I tore it down and there was play in the rod up and down so i finished tearing it down and took the crank to be rebuilt but it was not able to be rebuilt so i purchased the oem.
