PLEASE HELP, I NEED A RIGHT SIDE CRANKSHAFT!!!
« on: November 23, 2017, 07:50:51 am »
I was splitting the cases on my 88 LT500 and the nut for the crankshaft has red threadlocker on it.  I heated it up and put the impact to it.  It totally stripped the threads on the RH crankshaft.  I need a replacement, hopefully not too expensive.  Can anybody help me out??  Or have suggestions?  Thanks in advance for the help.  Happy Thanksgiving

Pretty sure crank halves are still available right from Suzuki but not sure if it's just one side or both.Someone on here purchased one maybe a year ago if I remember correctly...If you search it on here you may be able to find the post.
Can,t fix stupid.:)

Thanks Rainman, only the left side is still available.  I found some used ones on ebay for $200 - $400.  A little more than I want to spend and that money would be better used elsewhere on the machine.  I was thinking about rethreading the shaft to the next size smaller metric left hand thread,  or because the top three threads are still good, I could use some washers to build up the area that is stripped and then use a nut on the remaining good threads.  I know it seems hokey, but trying to save a little money.  just a thought, but ill probably end up buying a used one.
