Here's my broken crank. Anyone know where I can get conrods?

Holy &^%!$

I go M.I.A for a few months due to school obligations and come back to see such a major change for 2008!

I for one have never had any major issues running the Ninja platform for the duration of last season but you wont see me complaining now that Mugen will be back with JP Racing. Hopefully Mike and Jean-Paul can pick up where they left off and continue with development and winning. I think I might be smelling some JP fuel coming our way, only for those blessed souls.

celeong- I will give you $100 just to go away. Sadly, interent forums have become a cesspool of over-opinionated, under-qualified, mis-informed individuals. There is an absence of a readily recognised word to describe these infantilised adults. I expect a full bladder release is coming my way. Piss away. Wee wee.

put your money where your pie hole is......

here's my paypal- [email protected]

I see $100 in it today I won't make another post in this thread. Otherwise, I'm quite qualified to post my "opinions" anywhere I want based on engineering facts and simple deltronics measurements... if you've ever heard of those tools.

Bozla, I have a RO1 with a broken piston. There's nothing else wrong with it, I actauly broke the piston taking the motor apart. It has about a gallon tru it, the conrod is in good shape. I want to get rid of it. Pm me. I'll get some pics.

Thanks Nitrodude. I took mine apart today and realised it's got a broken piston too. With the cost of a crank, piston and sleeve, and con-rod I might just go and get a new engine thats simpler and cheaper. PM me a price and I'll think about it...

You're right about the price, you're better off getting a new engine. You might want to think about the Picco P9R, no lack of power and for $290, its a bargain, its what I ran.

Well, atleast with the Picco (Mega DSII) you have this piston "problem" solved...

Pic I can not see but if you mention the flat spot on the back cover... all has it reasons, and GRP has done it to minimise the crankvolume for maximum power.

Yeah I think they figured out that the performance increase was not worth the trade off of making there engine "GOOF PROOF". Ninja powered your National Champion last year rite? Pisses ya off doesn't it...watchin those Mugen's blow by.
