XR50 Crank

[miante]

My son has a bent rod in his 2003 XR50. Was going through ebay and saw this.

What do you guys think, Would this be ok? or just stick with OEM stuff.

I am just running everything stock.

You can't beat that deal from Beatrice Cycle. I purchased the exact same one from them, for $84.99, and it works like a charm. It already has the crank bearings installed, along with the cam chain drive gear. All you have to do is remove the old crank assembly, and install the new one.

Thanks.

Also how hard was it to remove the crank (split the cases)

Anything I need to be aware of?
