    Do 750 Kat Cranks have 493 rods?

    Hi guys.

    Can you tell me if 750 Katana cranks are a direct swap for the 1100 cranks, and do the 750's also have the stronger 493 rods?

        Good point. Not sure why I forgot that.

          On the bright side...with all the known faults of the plain bearing 750 engine, weak rods aren't one of them.
          New rod bolts and a crack test for reassurance and you're away.
