uprated crank??

Calum122 · Guru

No. OEM is about as good as you'll get. Could consider wossner con rod.

SMurF_12 · DTR Senior Member

How much are they and who sells them??

Calum122 · Guru

Nobody! Really hard to get. I got mine imported from Latvia lmao!

AndyYam · Guru

Whats your reason to want to upgrade the crank?

SMurF_12 · DTR Senior Member

Just because im going to do a rebuild soon and would like all fresh parts.

If you are just rebuilding then upgrading isnt worth it. I'd just get it rebuilt with new bearings. new con rod if you really wanna go all out.

Yeah well done mate. That's the one i bought. I had to speak to the seller to see if he could get some in. And he is located in Latvia so took a few weeks to arrive. Therefore not readily available and thus hard to get.

Ive got a Wossner conrod kit in mine now. But I did snap my OEM conrod, it doesn`t happen very often but like whats been said already OEM conrods are strong anyway

Found a firm over here called ORO2U.com, They stock the Wossner conrod, checked the part number against that one on ebay and they're the same (P2050).
Con rod is £63.64 inc VAT
They do the Wossner forged piston as well which is £79.58 inc VAT
But if you're on a bit of a budget, PJ engineering sell a conrod by a company called "Long", more than up for the job and made in Japan etc. That's £46.44 inc VAT

Happy days! It's good.

Yeah i bet that wossner rod is no different than the long rod lmao! I don't know what it is. It's more expensive soni had to use it in my engine lmao.

I got wossner piston in my dt. Can't say it's any different other than more expensive. But hey ho that's just it.

The Wossner rod and piston are 'Forged'. This means it's tougher than an un forged rod or piston. Better for racing etc but not necessarily better than a cast piston/rod for road applications. The Mitaka piston and Long con rod will be more than good enough for using the bike on the road.
I however will be using Wossner products as I'm hoping to squeeze as much power as I physically can out of the DT without screwwing up the reliability too much.
Much-o dyn-o time-o haha
