With TSS Cranks in LC's - aren't these based on RZ/Banshee cranks that are slightly wider ??

So is the LC crankcase machined or are the crank webs machined to fit the LC cases.....??

I think TSS shave a bit off the part that stops it fitting in the cases.

I've also heard that Shee and RZ cranks will fit in LC cases if you machine a millimetre out of the cases to match the extra millimetre of the wider big end bearing. There's a racer I know who did it/had it done. Can't say what other issues might be involved. Gotta love the continuity of parts with Yamaha though.

Yeah, cranks arnt cheap.. Is TSS still open?

Anyone had a Yambits crank?

Im 99% sure that Yambits dont make their own crank, they just sell an Asian one. I would ask and see what they say if you are keen, you can surely have one rebuilt locally for 750AUD with Graham who is on this forum.

Got offered a set of 350lc barrels & head on 1st o/s for 350 bucks in Canada.
Be quick if you want them cause they going on ebay.
Talk to Link on this forum about rebuilding your crank.
Jon & I are getting some done by him & has a good rep. within this forum by other members.
I have an old crank here good for rebuild plus other engine parts etc...

Can you post to Australia? could use some 350 jugs

LB is in Australia, he was just giving a heads up on parts that are in Canada that he was offered. I think they were still available a few days back, so if you want them contact LB he will put you in touch with the seller who will ship here Im sure of that.

I think LB also has a crank and other parts in Aus if you wanted something like that, again contact him.

Cranks. Just spoke to Link who has just completed a crank for me. I've never used Graham, but Link has been helpful and easy to deal with so send your cranks to him I say, he will see you right.

Thanks for explaining Jon, most times I post I'm at work & don't have time to go into things.
Last call for 350 LC barrels, they going on eblag. They are on 1st o/s & comes with head. $350usd plus postage. Be very quick.
Sorry to pollute your thread Thommo....

Darn, I would, but I'm hanging out for an LC 250 I know of that may come up for sale.... wish I was rich.... ;-)

This made me think about the fact that the forum world has two types of buyers, those who buy in case they need a part so grab one when it comes up and those that search for one when they need it. Neither approach is wrong, but I used to be the latter, until I realised that I should buy stuff when it was in Aus and even better in NSW or sydney in case i needed it, rather than buy from WA or abroad and pay huge post costs, just my experience...

Cheeky pup! Umm.. Hang on, your probably older than me...

Ah, wasn't actually referring to yours Thommo, but now you mention it....

Oh, and yes, I'm old enough to be your Dad. (resists making any jokes that step too far....)
