Repaired 1150 crankshaft.

[Carter Turk]

I've never actually seen a partially dissassembled crank before. I needed a new left end big taper and the number one connecting rod replaced, due to the starter clutch drama/carnage back in June. Actually, I think some parts were floating around for awhile before that, but the bike would still start until the last trackday I attended, where it let go completely loading the bike into the truck. I bump started in the pits 8 times that day with an occasional shove from folks watching me running in full leathers down the flat pit area. I timed my sessions so the first wave would go and wouldn't have to idle while waiting line.

Thanks Ray for suggesting Pearson for the repair. Pearson made an interesting observation only a crankbuilder would notice or someone intimate with engine internals, that the left pin had a poor press fit before it was supercranked up at Falicon in 96', so Falicon welded a bead all the way around the pin instead of a spot weld. He had to cut that off to get to the rod.

Still need to get a cam chain and figure out what size pistons to go with maybe 2mm over or go to 3mm again.

That level of carnage makes me wanna cry

Carter, I have SEVERAL sets of 1200 pistons you could cut the domes down on if you want a set of those. I can sell you a set, with new rings & clips for 325 shipped to you. The rings & clips are over 100 so the pistons would be about 200 + the shipping. Let me know.

So clearly there are engineering companies around that can actually dissemble a welded up crank?

Do you think they could fix this one?

Yes, John Pearson can fix that!

roger upperton does good crankwork in the uk
he has built my cranks fitting the gsx1100 crank in the gs1000 8 valve for me

Ray, are these pistons MTC 2mm over or 3mm or another brand?

[rapidray]

Carter, the 1200 pistons are 2mm over. 1230 are 3mm. I believe I have MTCs & JEs both but have to look to be certain.

Hamshire - thanks for that. I've just sent him a message with my crank video. I'll see what he makes of it.
