Cruiser Bike Crankshafts & Components

While the camshaft manages the valves on top of your bike’s engine, the crankshaft does its hard job at the bottom. Or between the cylinders, if we talk about the famous BMW’s boxer engine architecture. If compared to its counterpart installed in cars, motorcycle crankshaft is much shorter and, since it doesn’t need to be that strong, lighter. A flywheel allows for efficient vibration dampening. Replacements allowing to restore the crank or flywheel in a 2-cylinder bike normally come as a flywheel assembly which also includes connecting rods.

A 3-piece flywheel assembly allows you to effectively replace or upgrade the very core of your bike’s engine. What this part doesn’t come with, however, are the bearings holding it all in place. Crankshaft bearings are some of the most stressed parts of your motorcycle, and the forces they deal with take their toll. Given the fact that crankshaft bearings are pretty hard to get to and they do the crucial job while costing not that much, it often makes sense to change them along with the flywheel assembly.
