need new crank and rod for 2005 YFZ 450

[crprestridge]

Can anyone tell me which crank and rod to go with on my 05 yfz 450. Rod is bad in mine and want to upgrade to 06 but I don't want OEM. Thinking of WR crank with falicon rod. Is this a good decision?

thinking of getting a hot rod stroker crank for my yfz 450. Does anyone know anything about hot rod cranks?

I ran them in my 125 & my 250 for a few years with no problems at all

Hot Rods is made by Wiseco, definately a quality product. By the way, I merged this thread into your original crankshaft thread since they were so similar, and added the year make and model to the title, please remember to add that info to the title when you start a new thread, it helps direct web searches to our site.

Cool I would be interested in how this comes out. My brother-in-law has one that has to be rebuilt and would like to share with him your experience.

I"ll let you know how it turns out. I have decided to go with the WR crank and falicon "knife" rod. the crank is one pound lighter than oem and I called a tech with hot rod cranks and he told me that theirs are a little heavier than oem. I know of two other yfz's with the same crank and rod that i'm getting and they both rev like two strokes. I'll definitely know how it turns out.
