FireHead Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 I would gamble on something like a crankshaft. That auction doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the quality of the product. :geek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That auction doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the quality of the product. :geek: I feel the same way, but I heard wiseco cranks are made in Taiwan, I've read that in the yamaha rd forum so, I will not be surprise if it is 1 company that manufacters these cranks for wiseco, vitos etc. I dont say it is but i WONT be surprised.

castor927 Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-Yamaha-...sspagenameZWDVWAnyone bought one of these? My RZ needs a new crank and this is a pretty good price. i think that crank may be the NAMURA brand. they make some really bad stuff. my friend brought me a bike to fix for his brother, and the piston he had bought was the namura brand, it looks like melted spoons or something. i see alot of the namura stuff on ebay, originally they made just pistons, but now they make crankshafts, gaskets, etc. generally the giveaway is the price. they are cheap. on the wiseco crank thing, i have a hot rods crankshaft for my banshee, #h129, bought it about 5.5 years ago, just recently got around to building the bike, anyway, it's box says made in usa. i think i bought the crank back when IMS still did the hot rod thing. ??

Yea It could be made in taiwan. One mans junk is another mans treasure. It might not pass Hot Rods Specs so some other company sells it.
