Kurbelwelle (X-Section Pleuel verstärkte Ausführung)

About quality and texture: I am happy with the quality of this strengthened crankshaft from SP Takegawa, using forged materials and special design for maximum strength and minimum weight.About the feeling of use: The strengthened crankshaft was a highly desirable upgrade for my 181cc BBK Grom to keep it as reliable as possible and I am happy I made the purchase.Products to buy together: The crankshaft assembly tool would also be desirable to purchase along side their strengthened crankshaft as this is a neccessary tool for the installation of the crankshaft into the right crankcase.Difficulty of installation: The process to install just the crankshaft takes about one hour. The engine needs to have been completely stripped and split to allow you to remove the Honda crankshaft using a hydraulic press. Tap in the frozen crankshaft bearing and then using the Kitaco crank assembly tool to pull the strengthened crankshaft into the right crankcase. A little difficult to do.Cost performance and comparison with other products: Good costing as you are getting a crankshaft made from quality materials and designed to last. The price is higher then the reinforced crankshaft from Kitaco which is also a great product but currently unavailable for several months.About shipping and packaging: Sea frieght was my perferred method of shipping due to the lower cost but currently unavailable due to Japan Post. Webike kept me updated on the status of my order up to when it shipped. The parcel arrived within the expected date range and was well packaged with no chance of the part being damaged, checkout my photo for how well the crakshaft is wrapped.Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing: If you a reasearching the cost and parts required to build up your Grom engine then please do not over look how important the strengthened crankshaft is for a long lasting performance engine.

About quality and texture - Top quality. Forged crank with X shaped rod for strength and using Japanese quality bearings.About the feeling of use - With an increase in bore size and the addition of this crankshaft, I now feel confident in the durability of the engine.Products to buy together - The transmission is not the best in the Monkey 125 so while the cases are split some type of upgrade in this department is suggested. Kitaco have a cheaper option of the cross 4th gear set and Takegawa is recommended for the more expensive 5 speed transmission set.Difficulty of installation - I found the installation of the is part extremely difficult to carry out myself due to it being a massive job from start to finish and the special tooling that is required to use.Cost performance and comparison with other products - Cheaper options are available out of Thailand but my thoughts are to by a true and tested quality product from Japan, especially when it is a major job to carry out the installation.About shipping and packaging - I think Webike are doing their best with shipping pricing, so I'm happy. Packages ship within 24 hours and arrive very quickly from Japan.Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing - Webike also offer a forged crank from Kitaco for the Monkey 125 which is worth taking a look at.
