GXII crankshaft on GX-7R
would the crankshaft of the GXII fit on a GX-7R?
if so, is there any benefit/gain in installing it over the stock crankshaft of the GX series? TIA! |

From what I have picked up on I would say the GXII crank would give the 7 a little more bottom end, and maybe take a tad off the top end (which is not a concern with the GX-7R as it has so much top end anyway). You get the lightened and ramped mod as well, plus the GXII cranks are made of a harder steel then the GX coated ones, so you won't get the end wear under the bearings like on the GX TiNi version. |
thanks, grizz!
It's exactly the issue I'm having with my GX-7R's crank. My clutch bell is having too much side-to-side play already. That's why I'm planning to replace it. Other than that, I'm still happy with my Go engine's smooth and consistent performance. :nod: |
has anyone got a GXII crank off you for their a GX 5, 7R or the MG66 Shane?
If i was still racing my 7R it would have been in the day the parts arrived:) You racing this sunday or are you working? |

Now you have a new crankshaft end to put your bearings on. It makes the crank a little heavier than the original, but it beats buying a new crank just to have it sitting in a spare motor.

That MG you got modded sounds awesome Matt.
The GXII crank thing is more of an experiment than anything - a couple of us long time GO users just want to see what difference it makes out of interest. We have a couple of GX motors with the MG crank fitted, so the GXII crank into the MG is just the next progression for a bit of fun. |

Just waiting for massive to get some GOho cranks in stock so I can get one for my MG66..

I'm planning on doing the transplant tomorrow morning Giz. I will let you know what it runs like later in the week when I get a chance to hit the track.
