Crank rebuild?

[jayc]

My '02 GG 125xc crank bearings have been a bit clattery for a while - thinking of doing the bottom end over, and I'd image that the crank is getting tired too. Where is a good place to get a crank rebuilt (New England a bonus)?

You could start by giving Les a call at LTR......

Andrew Cooksey at cookseycranks in TX does good work too; don't have his contact info but you can google him.

Personally I'd send it to RB Designs. YZ125 rod kit, nothing special about it.

+2 for Andrew Cooksey. Awesome work and great prices.

'Kay -

I have some of LRTs work and...I'm not a big fan. I contacted the other two guys - both seem willing, but neither seem to have much GasGas-specific experience, not that it matters, although I'd have to dig up a rod myself in both cases - neither can verify the YZ125 rod swap (and here is the first I heard of it myself). Incidentally, Cooksey is $20 more expensive than RB ($75 shipped vs $55 shipped). Cheap either way though.

GMP - Any verification of the YZ125 kit available? I'm also still wanting to try a complete '89-99 CR125 clutch swap. I've heard mixed reviews on direct compatibility for the clutch.
