Title: GS450 Crank in 09 cases??/?
Post by: prichmon on March 10, 2017, 02:25:14 PM
I picked up a used 09 GS500f. When I pulled it apart a rod cap had separated. The cases appear unharmed but the crank is toast with 12 thousands undersize on 1 journal.

Seems cranks are few and afr between for the late GS or prohibitively expensive.

What is the possibility of a GS450 crank being used in the 09 cases? Maybe eliminate the balance shaft and do a standard balance using the rest of the GS500 standard parts?

Thanks
