[shawn_NJ]

30% off list at Yamaha Sports Plazza. The link below will take you to one for $561.53 but if you search some of the other models they show up for $757.02? Worth calling them.

I've seen other dealers list them for over $900.

if you can find one for 560 I'd jump on it....good call on the venture crank, I searched about 10 differnt models and everything else showed 700+

I picked up one for 560ish in my avatar motor...and that was as cheap as I could find

then again, sometimes you get lucky!

Have you looked for any good used cranks? l got lucky last week and got a complete motor out of a fresh water 96 waveventure for $150,but l also had to buy a 89 550 kawi(running $50) to make the deal.The yamaha had only 56 hours on it.lt had a light seizure in the rear cyl,but that was the only thing wrong.

I probably should pick one up before they fix the 760 crank pricing:wavey:

The secret is out, Parker just raised their price from $481 to $690.

 

[Nemo]

Wasn't that $481 for the 500cc crank? The 650 superjet cranks are $619.00. Other 650/701 and 760 models are higher.

I have a bunch of good used ones. But its for a BIG motor that the builder says, NEW OEM only.

Score dude!!! Wow. $561 ordered. Lets see if it works.

 

[kevbo]

For what ever reason 760 cranks are cheaper than all the rest, always have been.

Let us know if they give any flak.

I am a kawi guy.....is there any real difference? I am running a 760 crank in my 701 right now and it seems exactly the same to my untrained eye.

Let us know if they give any flak.

Will do.

650/701/760 all are the same crank i found out

 

[Nemo]

That's what makes me laugh about the different pricing. It's worth searching a bit because you can save some loot.

I have always had good luck with South Seattle. They have great prices. Not always the lowest, the majority of the time they do.

They will be getting alot of business from me if they keep the 30% off deal going.

sure about that? i know they all fit each other but ive heard different about them being the same

 

[ryan]

rods are not the same on a 760. same lenth. holes in the small end and the big end has some small cut out in it. i think that was it.

Not so sure about that....most vendors advertise them as 650/701/760

 

[junkyardj]

just wondering because there was a old racer cheater mod back in the day.. im sure they sell them as a common replacement though
