APE is known world-wide
for our race prep on four cylinder plain-bearing crankshafts.
The who's who of racing depend on APE cranks for performance
and dependability. Over 28 years experience modifying motorcycle
cranks is available for your motorcycle.
APE experts have reworked
every kind of four cylinder plain bearing motorcycle crank there
is. From the old Honda sohc 750 to the latest GSXR1000.
The advantage of a lightened
crank... Much quicker throttle response, less power wasted trying
to turn a heavy crank means more power to the rear wheel. The
engine accelerates faster. Harder pull off the corners. Reshaped
counterweights move through the oil mist with less drag. Lighter
cranks have less gyro effect.

Lightened
and Balanced Cranks
APE completely machines the crank counter-weights to remove weight
and narrow the profile (sometimes called "knife-edging".)
The oil holes are fluted on certain models to keep more oil at
the bearings. The crank is then balanced on a state-of-the-art
computerized balancing machine to extremely tight tolerances.

As all racers know, heavy
wheels and brakes spinning fast act like gyroscopes, and resist
being moved off their axis, such as leaning the bike over for
cornering. Same with the crank.
The heavier the spinning
crank, the more it resist being tilted when cornering. Light
cranks not only make more power, but help improve handling.

Stroker Crankshafts
APE offers crankshaft stroking.
This process involves moving the rod journals away from centerline
to increase the overall stroke in the engine. This modification
can be performed on cranks that have damaged rod journals, as
well as good cranks. Contact the APE tech department for stroker
recommendations for your engine: 661-256-7309
