I Bought a NEW Wiseco Crank For My Honda 400ex...How Long Will It Last?

[@theoneandonly2421]

I’ve never had a problem with wise I, in fact that’s the only company I use. The grind marks are from balancing, you will see the same thing on rods as well, on any type of combustion engine. You have came a long way brother with your skills, remember it doesn’t matter who you are, you never quit learning!

[@sixpacksandsrts9122]

My man needs a workbench My back hurts just watching you

[@cjleh757src6]

Facts

[@LuvTruckGarage]

The grind marks on the crank are done during balancing the crank- a good thing

[@2vintage]

Thank you! I was wondering what they were!

[@WeirdBeard617]

I’ve probably balanced 1000 cranks, I’ve never found one do balance it.

[@WeirdBeard617]

Wiseco cranks in my experience dont last long, I’ve always either rebuilt my own or used a hot rod crank. Wiseco uses inferior components

[@250race]

I told you to get the case wetter in the crank puller like 3 years ago along with the compression gauge in the radiator pressure gauge.

[@Jake-rp9cv]

@@WeirdBeard617 i have a hot rods crank and crank bearings in both my bike and my quad. both have gone in less then 10 hours.

Who thinks the Wiseco crank is going to last long? There are a lot of different opinions on them. Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE if you enjoyed the video! It really helps me out a lot! Thank you for all the support!

[@zacklataille342]

I had a 06 kx250f had weisco crank bike probably had a good 80hrs or more I had redone with oem parts and the crank was in good shape to be honest lol

[@4stroke_king]

Zack Lataille had put a brand new wiseco crank kit in my yz450f took it to a ride it jumped timing bent 3 valves broke two valves destroyed head and cracked piston jug was still good and crank was still brand new looking bike had about 10 hours on it before that lol

[@Builditathome-Restoration]

Love these split case rebuilds keep going iam doing one build too! Got cases lose

[@navyseabee7245]

I just restored a 96 Honda CR125 and that's what I purchased for it a Weiss go crank and Rod already assembled seems to be working great no issues you should be all right!!!! Rev it up!!!!! Lol

[@7empest.420]

i remember when you were at 500 subs i am so happy to have see you've grow

[@doylewilliams9429]

Wheelie tip : instead of pumping the gas try to keep it at a steady rpm

[@RetroGameRepairs]

Wiseco cranks and Top ends are just fine I've used them for all of my builds and never had an issue. The people having issues probably installed them incorrectly.

[@jasonpetrich4141]

Proper install and break in is key!!!!! Some people are very impatient, so they rush

[@cameroncrush9591]

Not true they had a problem a few years back with QC problems with their tolerances and balancing and cheap bearings. I’ve seen failed ones and one that vibrated hard

[@TK-gi5sv]

At one point a few years ago they were Chinese built crankshafts and going out often at less than 5 hours with lots of customers complaints. They had to step up and make things better or else their reputation was gone. Hot rods are made in the USA though 🇺🇸

[@jasonpetrich4141]

@@TK-gi5sv wiseco has a lifetime warranty so It doesn't really matter! Hot rods has sold regrinds/refurbished parts as new so.....pick your poison. Every bike can be made fast & great with a number of combinations of parts, this happens with the machining industry.Its all trial and error till you figure out what works best for your build

[@bubaa1218]

Tyler Raumer No wisco cranks were pretty shitty back in the day

[@simonjimenez2365]

I also ordered a Wiesco bottom end kit for my 03 Crf450r, it’s running good, time to see how long it lasts.

[@bikefixbuilds2139]

Good job my friend this is some great content

[@joe212]

The shaved spot on the crank is a balancing mark where weight was removed. The rodend on the stock crank looks blue

[@jasonsteyn449]

Really love your videos man! Keep it up, from South Africa

[@2vintage]

Thank you!

[@evan_bmx7273]

Your defiantly more of a quad guy I love the wheelies bro keep up the good work. Practice makes perfect 👌

[@natesomers5387]

You should polish the cases while they are split!!! And start popping the clutch to get the bike up just a thought

[@TeamWaxOffroad]

Love these videos man, I learn a lot from them.

[@TypicalPeen]

wiseco cranks are mint ive never had an issue i put one in my blaster when i rebuilt it and it runs like a top

[@chadriddle3517]

I believe it will last a very long time ! Wiseco makes good products ! Good video !

[@davidbrilmyer2354]

I've had pretty good luck with Wiseco!!hopefully u do to!!

[@2vintage]

Awesome to hear! I hope so too!

[@claytonstephenson4939]

tip on the wheelies go completely stopped 2nd gear and put your left foot on the rear grab bar and right foot on the rear brake best way to learn you kind of get to stand up for the balance point, also the safest way to bail as well

[@katelynstoesz1655]

A little tip for you. To remove a flywheel key use a wire cutter.

[@jasonpetrich4141]

She's fine!!! Now you need to run some quality oil, amsoil/ belray is the only oil I run it makes a difference and it needs to be changed atleast every 10hrs of riding!! And stay on top of maintaining it. Side note !! Tusk stuff is very tough!! I support there clutches big time,.. iv had one with 15% springs in my 01 trx 300ex,and I beat the guts out of the bike, im not nice to it and it just eats it up, never slipped, and its ben in my bike for 5 years, doing great still 👍

[@alekdillon2185]

My brother has got a 400 ex and I found doing 2nd gears wheelie helped me learn faster.

[@m8fusion712]

Awesome tear down video man

[@michaelsimon5877]

That high up there was a good balance point

[@coyote_450f]

dot 3 and 4 have almost no differences dont be afraid to inter change them. its not gonna hurt it, or be unsafe.

He uses all these fancy tools while I’m over here using a long screwdriver, a hammer, and my hands😂😂

[@ItsTheBroski24]

Don’t chop the throttle when wheeling. I know it’s hard not to but if you stay on it smooth and let it come up, you’ll hit balance point and you can start to get a feel for what it feels like and how to use the rear brake. Chopping makes the bike, or in your case quad, feel unstable.

[@tylerwhittaker4853]

You should consider getting some heel guards and some new nets for 99 400ex

Maybe should've tried to do the same with the crank as the bearings, heat the bearings, freeze the crank

Yeah i tried to do that with the crank. For some reason it didn't work as well.

Thanks buddy. Anytime you need anything just ask!

[@everythingloud4068]

Wiseco top ends are very good. I've known 3 different people that tried the bottom end and 2 had the bottom end go out quicker than usual. All balls makes a good bottom end or wrench rabbit. Good luck 👍

[@gtisid]

great your building up your toolbox as i’m hoping big bore 2Ts will follow. i usually freeze crank and heat inner race of crank bearing, can be a pain sometimes

Nothing wrong with hot rods or wiseco these days. Both quality rods. My ktm 380 2 stroke is ridden hard for years now on hot rods

[@11GalleryATV]

The crank and the counter balancer need to be "timed up" and they go in together ... there is 1 line on the crank gear and 2 lines on the counter balancer gear ... the crank gear tooth goes in between the 2 lined teeth on the counter balancer gear. Put the crank in the freezer over night (or use dry ice which is even colder than the freezer) then heat the crank bearing and drop in together (the counter balancer is not press fit so it should drop right in)

[@2vintage]

Yep I looked that up! Thank you!

[@parkerbrinker390]

[@papi_jxy1697]

[@wouldyouglowme4235]

I used a press to replace my brute force 650 crack and it was super easy

[@dirtrider6090]

The right way to test bearings is by squeezing them and turning. They’re mostly all gonna spin freely if you don’t have a preload on it

[@citabria4804]

Wiseco should last a long time I plan on doing a top end rebuild on my 400 with Wiseco

[@jr_inc2249]

I use wiseco cranks in my cr. I’ve never been disappointed👍

[@n2vxc]

Wow he is good just looking at a Crank and knowing it looks good..and side to side play is normal. It's called thrust clearance..stop basing wear on side to side. Up and down is the bad

[@2vintage]

Yeah i know. It's hard to show up and down play in the camera. I was also trying to pick up the crunching noise the bearings were making.

[@petershute3580]

There’s always something to spoil the party ,get the press Joe you can use it on all your work

[@kahootjesus5385]

When I first saw the beginning of the title I thought you bought another 400

Nah I bought something better today though!

Wiseco have updated their cranks. They are not like they used to be id be happy to run one now. Don't worry about it. 👍

[@2vintage]

Good to know!

[@carterlynch6169]

You should get some aftermarket shocks for your 400

[@bryantucker6725]

I always check the bearings to see if they fit the crank shaft I have got some before that didn’t fit did u try heating it back up

[@2vintage]

Yeah i tried the bearing is stuck now. Going to be waiting for the correct tool.
