I bought the Worb5 crank, but it was £130ish, if you check out Scooter-Center they should have a decent range and are cheaper than SIP.

Personally I'd go genuine Piaggio, never had any issue using those. Not with lardies at least.

I've used one of these. It's very smooth.

I guess another option is take the crank to Harry B for one of his big end bearing and con rod kits for around £80.Cheers lads

Piaggio crank will not fit on a reed valve engine without modification. The Harry B is a good option. If you contact tass.co.uk he is the official parts supplier for LML in the UK and he will point you in the right direction and only sells genuine LML parts. Yes the crank on the stock engine is not very good but Im sure the replacement from Tasso is of better quality.
This argument goes on and on about LML and Piaggio, but in my opinion the LML is a very good engine and scooter. The fact its Reed Valve gives you loads of options in the future.

I wasnt aware of that! cheers.Its only gonna be a budget tune So either a DR177 kit or 5 port 150.Probably worth whipping the crank out nevertheless as i want it to be reliable as i can.
