LIGHTENED AND BALANCED ZX10

Lightened and Balanced Crankshafts

APE removes excess weight from your crankshaft and then balances it to race specs. Lightened crankshafts rev much quicker. The recontoured counterweights have less drag spinning through the oil mist resulting in more power to the wheel. The crankshafts have the oil holes modified to provide more oil to the bearing. Then it is computer balanced for continued operation to 14,000 RPM. Lighten and balance customer supplied crankshaft.

ALUMINUM CYLINDER SPACERS FOR ZX12

In some stroker applications, the increased stroke can be compensated for by using a spacer plate. The thickness of the stroker plate you need is exactly 1/2 of your crankshaft's incresed stroke. A crank that has been stroked +.160 would use a .080 spacer plate, etc.

ZX11 and ZRX/ZZR1200 spacers available also.
