Graham File did my crank, he used rods made by 'Long'. Not finished putting my engine back together yet, so can tell you how good/bad they are!

On the LC Forum there are only 2 cranks builders that people trust and one is P J Engineering and the other Granbys of Liverpool.

Thanks for your answers.

i use the con rod kit made by "Long" since ~3000km in my TZR.
i don't know the company.
the big end bearing is different to the original Yamaha.
the bearing has a needle less.
perhaps not good for high RPM?

and now my TZR sounds not good..... :shock:

(it is not so loud in reality)
in hope not the crank... :evil:
perhaps only loose power valves.

seems like that ticking sound disappears when you rev it high enough ?

if so, check your flywheel didn't come loose :idea:

can you feel some movement in the flywheel ? I guess not, than you would have posted "Tnx Jan" :lol: .

Does it make the sound

* anywhere -by that I mean any cranck angle - ?

* only when you change the rotation direction or even when when you just keep rotating ?

* only at BDP off one off the cylinders ?
