Hi!

Just a quickie, is the mc16 crank one of them thats bloody costly to do due to some expensive main bearing or something along them lines?

The bearings arn't that expensive. The rebuild is though.

Really? Is it more expensive than say an rgv250?

Your looking at £175-£200 for the rebuild plus parts.

Wow, how come? Is it a particularly hard crank to rebuild?

It's not easy like a Yamaha one, no.

Hmm would like to know why, I have rebuilt my own cranks in the past but these days without a press so its easier to send them off!

None of the webs are indexed or phased and the crank pins are integral to the inner webs.

Come on Stephen......it's a piece of cake. All you need is a few hours, lots of fancy, costly tools and the patience of a saint. So why so expensive?

At least they don't have the flimsy steel covers like the RS/CR.....now they are a pain in the bum.

The RS/F3's are a swine. I did mine when I was altering the crank pins and raised an eye brow more than once.
