will my crank hold up


RILS

Recommended Posts

I am just starting to mod my 04.I have trinity stage 4 pipes k&n pods a noss head and a timing plate.Ive not installed anythingyet going to do it next week some of the parts havent arriced yet.My question is will my stock crank hold up to the compression 18cc domes will give me.Im at 1000 feet above. Everything in the motor is stock with low hours.I dont mind running race gas its readily avaible in my area.I was told buy trinity that i shound not have a prob but thought i would get everybodys opinion.I do plan on porting and crank truing and welding when i rebuild but really just getting broke in now so it could be awhile.

The prob with the cranks is that they are a mass production item- some are gonna be stronger at the splines than others. Personally, I didn't want a weak/bad part on my bike so I pulled mine and had it welded before doing many mods at all; it only cost like $100 bux for welding and gaskets. But there are LOTS of guys running unwelded cranks on fairly strong motors and I haven't heard of many coming apart. It's really a judgment call.

With all that I'd prefer a welded crank. Or maybe 19cc domes until you have the crank done. Race gas with either.
