Post by plynn41 »

Anybody have any dealings with them? Are they on this site? Do they do their own machine work?

No link to post. kxcr500 is an Ebay seller I was inquiring about. I just bought a rebuilt crankshaft from him and wondered if anyone had a thumbs up or thumbs down from their dealings with him. I'll give a feedback on him in the right section once I get the crank in and check it out.

Oh, $190 shipped for this:
Crank that has new thrust washers and rod bearings, has been trued.
Set of new main bearings
Moose complete seal set
OEM gasket set

Update:

Crankshaft came in. I had contacted the seller and been told that he replaced the rod bearing and both thrust washers. When the package came in, the first thing that bothered me was the crappy, flimsy box the crank was shipped in. Very unprofessional. The cranks itself appears to have a new big end bearing--I believe it is new because it was installed totally dry. But the thrust washers do not look new at all. I measured the side clearance of the rod at 0.025". The other thing that bothered me, other than the sitting in a flimsy cardboard box with nothing but wadded up paper to protect it, was the fact that the crank was filthy and not wrapped. There are particles of dirt and debri all over the crank and down around the bearing. I am going to have to thoroughly wash this thing with solvent before running it. I have no way of knowing if the crank is now, or ever was before shipping, straight and true.

Other than that, the rest of the package was as described by the seller. I'm willing to install it and see how she goes.

I might buy something else from KXCR500 on Ebay, but I'll definitely be very careful and scrutinize his descriptions.

do not install without checking if its true....
$5 at your local dealer, make sure you watch him do it
the 450 will have less power and will be harder to start, and will be heavier, but to make up for it it will require more maintenance.
