I'm looking for a 60mm crank for the RB250.

Any recommendations up to the £250 mark?

Thanks

Harry Barlow has a hood reputation for building quality crankshafts. As does Jerome at reedspeeds. Also Taffspeeds. I woud think you might just get some change out of £250.

Dunno if this would be preferable to the RB crank .... but Mec 60mm race crank £100, Yamaha 110 Rod £25, Yamaha big end bearing £25, Ina small end bearing £8, 3mm packer £5, not sure what pin you'd need.
MB sell the rod and bearing as it's what they use in their Alpha cranks. Add in cost of pin, fitting and getting it balanced.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Food for thought, hopefully get the crank in a few weeks.

So which 60mm crank did you get and how's the engine going?

I forgot to post back 3 years ago!

I ended up getting This crank from PM Tuning. For the time I had the RB250 there was no issues with the crank. But due to non crank related issues, I moved on from the RB.
