Lower end preventative maintenance

[nmmiles]

Ok so I've got my 900 engine torn down and everything is going well. Because I am doing the 975 kit I will be getting an entirely new top end so im not worried in that aspect. Good thing im getting a new top end because my pistons were one hard ride from blowing up. I'll try and get some pictures of them up soon. Anyways, should I send my crank out to get the bearings changed and such? They all feel smooth and appear to be in good shape, but if its something that should be done I would rather do it now than later? Any inputs?

Thanks,
Nolan

wanna tear it down again?

I personally would get them changed now while everything is apart. If you are getting a brand new top end you might as well get new bearings in the bottom. I do not know much about the kit you are getting, but some specialty shops do mods to the crank when they will be taking more force under the larger displacement. Just my two cents. Have a good weekend.

If you got the money go for the big bearing kit and one of the best is from INDYDAN.

It would be a bummer if your bottom end went after the install.

x2 on indydan

yes indydan does some amazing work with his torquemaster bottom end but my wallet isn't near big enough to support it. What price range would I be in to get the bearings replaced? The bottom end has about 3000 miles on it, is it even worth replacing yet?

Thanks,

crank

I just went with the new Polaris crank for the 700 and 900 RMK. The tapper is larger and will hold up better for that 975 your installing. The rest of the crank does look the same though. For 860.00 you get a new crank, primary clutch, belt and clutch bolt so it lowers the cost of the crank if you think about it.

I see your a michigander my 2 cents $1700 new bottom end indydan weather yours is broke or not so brake it then fix it. Michigan is not as hard on the bottom end as t is out west.

Replacing all depends on the wear and tear.
