dragstar_125 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hi Simon, that is a job for the professionals not your average enthusiastc home mechanic me thinks! hey there, this is totally true unless ur a great mechanic leave it into the workshop, this isnt goign to be cheap for you, i was lucky- I bought a drag 125 and the previous owner had left it on the kicker so the bearings had seized up over time, i had a years warranty on mine so the shop i bought it in decided to replace the entire crank shaft costing THEM around £500+ to replace!!!! so now my baby is like brand new with only 1900 miles when i bought it!!!
