Another Crank Run-out Question

[efulton]

I have read often that the 2002 Edge xc 800 sleds had serious crank issues. I happened to have one with 5000 miles on it. I have not checked the run-out on it yet this year. I am planning on doing so after the season is done. My question is what do I do if the run-out is too much? The other question is if it isnt bad, should I still take the crank case out and have someone beef up the bearings and/or rebuild it?

If i need to get some work done on it, does anyone know of a good shop to take it to in and/or near SE Michigan? I will most likely have it done.

Thanks,

Ethan

The safe max is about .004" inch or so......I've ran mine up to .007 with a close eye and balanced clutch. Since replaced it and I'm under .001"......Check you dial indicator closely....Someone gave me one that measures in "mm". I scared myself when I thought it was about .020"; but really reading in mm.

If you're under spec. - Balance the clutch, check motor mounts/torque stop and run it....If over, send to IndyDan for a 1st class job. Cheaper but good in your area is Northern Crankshaft........

Any idea on the price to have IndyDan do it?

indy dan is expensive but extremely good. you will be able to go another 5000 miles for sure if he does it.

I sent mine to SLP, They did a great job and it was less than I expected.
put a tuff boy (I think)bearing kit on when I got the new crank.

Mine was at 06 with about 2800 miles.
