Why is this crank going for so much?

Post by Arne »

I've got two used cranks sitting if anyone needs one, and they can be had for way less than 90 bucks!

Are there alot of Suzuki two stroke people out there that don't belong to these online forums?

It seems like it would be difficult to work on these things without parts and support knowledge from the few people left who know anything about them....

So much? A NOS that PM had was being held for $999.00 BIN about a month ago.

Buy this one and have it rebuilt for around $600 all totalled right? Looks like a steal in comparison if I am not mistaken.

Yep, guess so. I wonder if PM ever sold that one....

Theres something 'bad' about that seller and Lane knows about him. Its obviously an issue of some sort but he didnt say what it was, id pay attention and tread lightly for the sake of getting your monies worth.
I also notice he sells items at prices way above the norm, yet people keep bidding higher and higher, thats the interesting part.
Two strokes, its just that simple.

It "looks" cleaner than the last one I bought off ebay for $20.50 and it has a starter clutch assembly and alternator rototr, so maybe people think it's a bargain.

Or maybe someone bid and Mr Schill decided to help the process along a bit.

I wonder how many of those $1000 gold bricks he has :?: :shock: Or if he had to have the seals replaced in the one in order for it to sell?

$koto is known for not delivering. Several guys on the Kaw board have been burned.

If you stroke it more than twice; you're playing with it.

Too many bikes, too much time, ENOUGH SPACE, FINALLY! Never enough money.........
