E series crank shaft

[Friedom]

Anyone have a decent one around? I've been informed by Ron B that the one I had is not usable or repairable. :/

UGH. Sorry to hear that.

Bummer. What year is your bike? They changed the flywheel mount at some point during the E series. Can't recall what year, but the earlier uses a bolt that threads into the flywheel side, the later uses a nut and the crank half on the flywheel side is threaded on the outside. Probably won't matter as long as you get the right bolt/nut to go with.

Mine is a 92.
I've seen that listing a few times now. The end got banged up/distorted, and the surfaces that ride under the seals are pretty corroded too.
There's a 96 on ebay that looks good. From what I've seen it looks like the same crank is on the H series. Anyone able to confirm or deny?

Do you mean to have "Good job, guys. " as a signature, but don't know how to do it??

Friedom, any chance you are in north AL?

...I'm not quite sure I understand your question. It is my signature already and works fine from my view, does it show up weird for you?

I'm in southern AZ..

I quoted your post. It shows up in your post, not as a signature. See where mine says "THANK YOU, JulienD, for your hard work on the site!"? That is some info I put in the signature field on my profile. That is why I asked.

Thanks.

Ironically, I don't see that signature on your posts. So I think yours is set up through the website, but mine is setup through Tapatalk (The app that I use for forums).

Ah. OK. That is different.

[Friedom]

So any one know if the crank is the same for late E and H series? Numbers were the same on rmatv, but it didn't seem all that precise.

Looks like different p/n's to me.

Where are you referencing? Just want to be clear.

Edit: yup,they're different numbers according to Partzilla and CMSNL.

Guess I'll continue sniffing ebay.

Bump: anyone have a crank - or even a bottom end from an E series for sale?

I should be able to help you out. I cant seem to send or received PM's, but my e-mail is damage.inc@mchsi.com, if the site will display it...

I have a "90 engine bottom, but it needs to be disassembled. I can move it up on my schedule if you are still looking.

[Friedom]

Thanks. I was able to source a good looking 89 crank on ebay. Had it sent directly to RB and he affirmed it looked good and rebuilt it.
It's now sitting on the shelf with all the rest of the disassembled engine.
I'm starting to get excited about this bike again! Think I'll go read the engine assembly section again..
