I have been advised to have newly rebuilt cranks welded for racing use.
Does anyone know exactly where they should be welded ?
Thanks
Ronnie

Re: KR1S CRANK WELDING
It's just people being paranoid and crude! some weak cranks on multi cylinder two strokes could twist the crank out of alignment so no longer 180 degree apart.
I wouldn't consider it
