CRANKSHAFT BALANCING MADE EASY | Finding Crankshaft Balance Factor | 2 STROKE TUNING

The wrong balance factor can cause annoying and damaging vibration in your bike. Balancing your crank to a different factor may be needed. In this video I explain what the crankshaft balance factor is, I show you how to find it, and I show you a super easy cheap way of making a crankshaft balancing stand.

I recently made modifications to my 250 two-stroke. I added a slightly heavier piston, a larger crank pin and longer heavier rod. I also filled the balance holes with JB Weld. After getting it running I noticed at about 7000 rpm I was getting a bad vibration. I went back and checked Balance factor and it was 31. I then removed the JB Weld from the balance holes, that got the balance factor up to 38%. Evidently, JB Weld is fairly heavy. I could’ve tried it again to see if it was better, but I decided to add weights and get the factor up in the 50s. I added about 3 ounces of tungsten and it is now 55%. Will put it back together in next two days and see how it does.

[@masdbo]

Update, With my balance factor up to 55% there is much improvement. There is still vibration of course, but it’s better than it’s ever been. By the way, I used JB Weld to fix the weights in the crankshaft. So far so good.

[@ekner]

Found myself back here and I wanna say I really like the concept of these little how-to videos! Consider mentioning them in your newer bigger videos every now and again, this is good knowledge!

[@nicgyver8359]

I really enjoy the do it yourself concept. You really are helping provide basic tools and concepts for us to take our 2 strokes to the next level. Keep up the great work!

I would like to add something to your informative video. Checking your balance factor with the parts that were working well together is a great place to start. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

+Jim Marriott Thanks, good advice!

[@jacobwestcott4536]

ive known about balancing but never knew there was even math involved, you just earned a subscribe, well done.

[@bagyanagar_wasi]

Thank you sir for explaining the math in such an easy to understand manner. Greeting from Bharata - India.

[@gregrichardson5306]

This is great , thanks for your time , when will we see the "tuning the crankshaft" to accept a heavier piston eg: big bore kit. You mentioned knife edging the sides .. good or bad ... what about polishing ... good or bad idea ... thanks again , Greg

[@LaTrovanti]

Calculation made simple// First load the crankshaft to find the weight for static balance.// 50-60 % of that weight is going to be be the weight of the piston + pin for minimum vibrations. Thanks 2STROKE STUFFING !

[@Mike-gr2ok]

Thanks for explaining👍

[@masdbo]

Actually you have it backwards I believe....50-60% of the Total weight will equal the static balance weight.

[@DrCHAOSBTW]

I may be dumb or somethjng but how do you apply that math to the actual balancing of the crank? What do you do when reassembling it to adjust the balance??

[@onewisedre]

@@DrCHAOSBTW you figure this out?

[@Artoconnell]

Thank you for showing this, simplest explanations are always best. would you be able to hand the entire assembly with the piston and all the other recip parts and verify final modifications before you put it back? cant hurt to check.

[@fstarockaburns425]

been messing around for 2 hours thinking i could figure it out bit apparently not! thanks for giving us the sweet spots.. im gonna give this a try 2moro again and hopefully get the crank back in asap-

Awesome video. I learned so much from watching your videos. Am in the process of installing a wiseco piston on my wife's yz250f 2013 and didn't think of the extra mass involved.

55% -/+

[@hiscifi2986]

I did a big bore kit on a Husqvarna Chainsaw, but the new piston was lighter by about an ounce. It worked Ok. Not yet run-in, but it seems to be more powerful.

[@anthonywilliams4638]

Whilst this upload was of short duration, ( 5 minutes ) the subject matter is covered reasonably well, although it raises more questions than answers, which can be noted from the responses in the comments below. However, the definitive book on tuning single, multi, parallel , opposed piston, and split single engines , whether two stroke or four stroke, is contained in the 1949 publication by Phil Irving, called " Tuning for Speed " . This book is the Bible for tuning engines to maximum performance. Amazon sell it for a small sum, and it is still the best book for the home tuning person, without doubt.

[@montyhannah8022]

After I get my ballance factor what do I do next ? I didn't have to add any hung weight, does that mean my assembly is ballanced ? Thank You Very much ! I really like your video.

[@olerasmussen1608]

Hi From denmark. Thanks for all the good vidios. Some say that 50% balancing factor is the right amount?? I tune my own 23cc 2 stroke engines (Zenoah), I make the conrod and pistons lighter and the piston-pin, then I will have to remove material from the counterweights, right?? If I want the most RPM's out of the engines, what factor would be the best for that? Or the smoothest running? The engines are used in 1/5 scale TouringCar Race, the cylinder are sitting at about 45dg angel. Hope you will comment this. Thanks Ole

[@muhammadal-fathoni1001]

can I ask about the balance factor, I have a motorbike with a separate balancer, I want to remove the balancer and move the drop point of my crankshaft by adding weights to the crankshaft, can you tell me how to do it but not cause or reduce the vibration effect, because I have plans to added 4 weight points to increase torque and changed the crankshaft drop point to 5°-3° before the highest point of the crankshaft, thank you

Hello, I am Felipe, I am a follower of your page, I have learned a lot about 2-stroke bicycle engines, I have a ZEDA YD100 50mm, my engine reaches 8000rpm, I corrected the balance factor of the crankshaft to 52.5% but I still have vibration from 6500 Rpm. The question I have? Do I raise the factor to 55%? What do you think? Thank you Felipe

[@ryan-danodano]

Mine just goes straight down on the rod end ,, no weights. So adding weight wont do it should i assume i have to remove weight and or add to counterweight?

I have a doubt, the hang weight is the weight that You put on the craftshaft to balance? With tugsten

[@ridefast591]

Alex help me out...im back and forth with a pretty knowledgable guy bit he says u do this wrong..same way I do it. You counted the con rod in the recip mass than you added to the bobweight the con rod to get the full hang weight. Tgis hang weight is then calculated in% of the total reciprocating weight.He swears you are doing it wrong and Connor use the conrod twice ...please clear this up as I am referring him to this video

[@2STROKESTUFFING]

I'm not quite sure what part he's disagreeing with?

[@ridefast591]

2STROKE STUFFING anyway I'd does not make sense...he says no using the small end of rod twice in the equation. It has to be added to recip mass as it is part of it. But then it hangs as u get static balance so it is added to the bob weight to get the full hang weight.he thinks you should only divide the bobweight into the recip mass not add the rod and use the full hang weight.

[@msefriyadi4842]

How many % for horizontal engine ?

[@kidkidu2]

75% for a ktm 300 exc two stroke is good? the motor is probably about 30 degrees away from the cylinder being pointed straight forward. i've got 295/395 which gives 0.746... so about a 75%; i am going to assemble it like this anyway, but i am curious if it's an ok number.

[@THISLOVETHISHATE99]

what does it mean if my rod is heavier then the balance weight though i didnt want to remove my crank bearings

[@Karelinish]

Hi I have seen and enjoyed many of your videos I especially liked your nitrometh moped. I was wondering if you're looking for power why don't you use efi. I have seen some efi kits that can even do duel fuel injection so you can vary the amount of nitro to methane. The company I found that looked best was ecotrons small engine efi. Thank you and keep up the good work.

[@2STROKESTUFFING]

+Karelin James I might look into that! EFI on high power, high rpm 2 strokes are extremely difficult to get right when running gasoline. Methanol/nitro is far less picky about afr qnd should be much easier.

[@2STROKESTUFFING]

+Karelin James ...and Thanks!

[@Karelinish]

2STROKE STUFFING Thanks I also believe that the kit above can control the ignition timing as well. I have been looking at this kit for a while but have lacked the time and funds to pull the trigger (about $600) and I would love to see somone talented like you to try it first. Thanks for looking into it again its called ecotrons small engine efi kit.

[@iPh3x]

So if I measured my balance factor to be 54 percent, that means Im ok in balance and no weight has to be removed from crankshaft? Engine is 1 cylinder long stroke 45 degree engine.

[@pattybeeman]

I think your math calculation is incorrect. You use the partial weight of the connecting rod twice, (26.65 + 32.26 = 58.91) and also for the total reciprocating weight of 108 (26.65 + mass of piston/ring/pin/circlip). There is no reason to have the 26.65 gm in both top and bottom numbers of your equation. (58.91/108) Your equation could be 32.26/81.35 = .3965 or 39.65%. You are not taking into consideration the rotating mass with added flywheel and timing gear weight. I think if you want to static balance it, you have to figure out the counter weight of the crank without the connecting rod attached but with the fly wheel and timing gear mounted. You could use your hook method and add washers and weigh that mass. Then if you were trying to achieve a zero balance, then ideally you would want your piston/rings/pin/circlips/bearings/con rod to weigh the same as the counter weight of the crank. I think this is why balancing a rotating assembly requires metal added to the counter weights a lot of time. My 2 cents.

[@rajeshrs1226]

Great. But I want to know how it works. I mean how adding weight keep it still.

[@jasonwood7340]

The counterweight on the crankshaft is meant to balance out the weight of the reciprocating mass (piston, connecting rod, etc). He kept adding weight until the weight hanging from the connecting rod is equal to the weight of the crankshaft counterweight so that no matter the rotation of the crankshaft the weight is equal. Check out "balanced rotating assembly" to learn more about what all is involved.

[@jimfitzgibbon5492]

The rod has a upper end weight & a lower end weight. Weighing the upper end weight twice does not give the total weight of the rod. You also did not include the big end bearings. I balanced engines dynamic (spin balance) for years in a racing auto machine shop. The crank need to be taken apart & the rods upper & lower end weight weighed separate along with the lower bearing. The crank pressed back together & a bobweight made with the 55% upper weight added. Then balanced . When balanced Reassemble the crank. I know its more work but it will be much closer.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

I want to go for as little vibration as possible with 30cc 2-stroke single cylinder engines running 10,000 rpm to 13,000 rpm. (for RC helicopters, which are sensitive to engine vibration). IMO, you should include the application of the "balance factor" in this vid, because your viewers are still in their shop with a crank on parallel bars.

[@2STROKESTUFFING]

+EarthSurferUSA My recent video where I rebalance the Spx crank could help, I'll put a link in the video. Thanks!

[@kylesnyder2253]

That is awesome. I also fly gasser helis and I'm looking into this as well since BH Hanson and Toxic Al wont be modifying engines forever.

[@GP_TUNER]

so to make the balance factor can use two alternatives whether it can do drilling on the crankshaft and enlarge the piston diameter .. is it like that? Sorry, my English is bad

[@2STROKESTUFFING]

+Galih Putra GPS Racing To change the balance factor you need to either add/remove weight from the big end half or counterweight half of the crankshaft. Drill or grind to remove weight, add heavy metal(tungsten/Mallory) to add weight.

Awesome thanks that was really educational 👍🏻

[@amoresgaylordd.9473]

Nice Video Dude! But Can you Clear to me what hang weight means? weight to be added to obtain 55% balance factor, is that right?

[@2STROKESTUFFING]

It's the weight you hang from the conrod to find your balance factor.

Oh! Now i know thanks! Do you have email or fb dude i have some questions regarding to modification. Can you help me out!

[@2STROKESTUFFING]

2STROKE STUFFING Ok Bro! Thanks

[@pulesjet]

Why was the Connecting rod included twice ? Once on it's own and as the group with piston/Pin/Rings ?

[@2STROKESTUFFING]

Cause you need to know the total reciprocating mass and just the conrod weight for the calculation.

[@jizzybordirkomputermahkota4807]

I weigh the conrod directly weighing 90gram but if weigh according to your way then the result 30gram. this is a different result What do you think?

[@2STROKESTUFFING]

"my way" will give you the approximate weight of the reciprocating part of it, that's why.

[@robhoward35]

Bro, I done r&r my 250cc at home.now I wish I would of seen this vid. First..saved a ton of money with a Big hammer &finess

[@mike3684]

Maybe I missed something simple, but didn't you effectively only weigh (about) half of the ConRod?? Isn't its contribution to the reciprocating mass about double what you would measure on the scale with that method?

[@2STROKESTUFFING]

It's just an estimate weighing it like that, but it gets you close. It's complicated cause the closer you get to the big end the more it's contributing to rotational mass vs reciprocating. As there's nothing like the "right" balance factor it doesn't really matter if the number you end up with is say 5% off what it would've been if you did the math as long as it works.

[@mike3684]

2STROKE STUFFING ok that actually makes a lot of sense, I never considered the fact that not all of the Conrod contributes to reciprocating motion... Weighing the whole conrod would cause you to be on the heavy side, then??

[@2STROKESTUFFING]

Totally understandable. Yep it would

[@Sarjanamotor23]

i want to ask you, is balancing machine horizontal with vertical it different, if different what is the difference? please reply for me, thank you sir

[@MaDcOw1986]

In terms of engine performance, what is the difference between an unbalanced internals vs a balanced engine internals on a dyno? 🤔

[@2STROKESTUFFING]

Interesting question, never seen much research on the subject.

[@roberthoard639]

Vibration is lost energy get rid of vibratiion,,,,and

[@VndNvwYvvSvv]

50% will balance for idle. Higher like 70% will balance for high RPM. You are converting up/down primary imbalance to fore/aft secondary imbalance.

[@Sketch1994]

How would you go about measuring a counterbalance shaft? On the crankshaft the connecting rod is already at the right radius but the counterbalance shaft has no point to hang the weights from.

[@2STROKESTUFFING]

+Sketch1994 One way is to just calculate it, since it has no reciprocating mass it shouldn't be too difficult.

[@Sketch1994]

Typically it is indeed the same as the calculated mass at the crankshaft. Though I have fitted an aftermarket rod, I don't have the stock piston(I have never even seen one), and my only constant is the balance shaft which I can't measure! I have some pics of how I tried to measure it but it was very inaccurate due to all the crap that were involved.

[@777cerovski777]

Can you show us. Thanks for the videos

[@asdfgggqwer3339]

Hi there. Enjoyed all of your videos. Great stuff. So if I'm understanding correctly, to achieve the perfect balance, hung weight=piston weight?

[@asdfgggqwer3339]

And if piston weight > hung weight, is it considered safe to trim off some weight from the piston or doing this will cause more problems

[@asdfgggqwer3339]

Eg: bore x stroke... 50x49.5 to 62x65.5

[@rhinusbreedt9772]

Yes. So if the balance is way out or not enough they usually add weight to your crank. The piston will rarely be too light to shave weight from the crank as I understand it

[@vladturaev9905]

Thanks, good explanation 👍☺️

[@tedyarch8636]

this same with 4 stroke engine?

[@corridorjunior2066]

What do I do if my crankshaft stays in position without any hung weight? Im working on the 66cc mb engine trying to balance my crankshaft. Also I can’t tell if it is really staying in position or if there is too much friction between the bars and the crankshaft, so I might try to use some bearings instead or the metal bars.

[@2STROKESTUFFING]

Then you do the same calculation with "0" as the hung weight.

[@corridorjunior2066]

Okay that's what I thought. So I guess that means I need to lighten the side of the crankshaft that the conrod is on so that I can hang more weight and increase my balance factor?

[@2STROKESTUFFING]

Yep!

[@phefhzalone]

waiting for the next video of this sir,,

[@2STROKESTUFFING]

im sorry but thats where i was left at the end of video to.... i would think that 58 grams is what you want on the upper half.. so drill 50 grams out of the flywheels above the conrod?????? 108[stock weight]-58 [new balanced weight]=50 [desired removal amount?] can you confirm this 2 stroke..im in canada here and its research and development season.. i got into this last summer and scratched up 3 cylinders.. i hate breakdowns and want to prolong and prosper instead of gouging them to death now

[@2STROKESTUFFING]

+Olli Hakkarainen That was the case with my Doppler Endurance crank too. Haven't checked the ER1 yet, but I suspect it's the same. Hopeless... Depending on conrod weight your balance factor is probably under 20%, to raise it you must either remove material from the big end side, add heavy metal(tungsten, "Mallory") to the counterweight side, or a combination of both.
