My 1982 175 needs a new crank. Does anyone know where I can find one? Or does someone have one they'd be willing to get rid of? I just wanna get the bike running again. Thanks in advance.

Do you just need a connecting rod kit or is something wrong with the halves?

Somehow there isn't enough material on the crank where the bearing seats for the bearing to actually seat. I know that probably didn't make sense, but the crank has so much side to side play it made the flywheel destroy the stator. I just tried replacing the bearings also.

WOW. Sorry that happened. It does sound like you need a different one. You may try to find a used on eBay and maybe it is OK or can have a new connecting rod kit installed.

Yeah, I've been trying to scout one out on ebay, with no luck. Does anyone know if the 175 crank is interchangeable with any other bikes?

There is one on eBay, BUT, it's been welded....so I would probably pass. Which half is bad? There is a NOS left half listed too.

Yeah i saw that half on there, but unfortunetly, both halves are bad. Do you have a link to the welded one? I havent seen that one yet.

Thanks Jason, sorry, I was out of town and didn't see the post.
