    Normal to me, pull in the clutch and about 1/2 the noise from right side will go away. These motors were not designed for refined silent running, the 630 is a derivative of a full on race motor from the past now pressed into dualsport service. KTM RFS same way.

    Yours sounds fine Motranqui. Mine was much noisier than that.

    Did that SWM rod arrive as yet? I finally had my crank split. Crank, rod and pin are in almost perfect condition, looks like I caught the bearing before it got too bad. Was hoping to find an alternate bearing, XR600 is close but 2.5mm too narrow in width.

    Well, nearly three months after ordering the rod kit, the dicks at SWM in Australia can't even tell me if its been sent yet from Italy!
    So today I decided to dismantle the crankshaft to see if I can see the problem. Well, its pretty obvious what was causing my engine noise/vibration!

    The rod looks in good condition, so I might look at replacing the pin and bearing if I can find a match.

    I'd go all the way with a new rod too, they come matched with pin and bearing

    Well, SWM came to the party finally, and sent me a complete new crankshaft!
    Except.
    I'm not sure its a new crank. The big end bearing seems to have more play than the bearing I'm replacing!
    The pin is in better condition, I hope.

    don't bonk it with a tool. use the base of your palm so you can hear the play. it should be a subdued sound, not sharp.

    you could measure the movement tolerance and compare the measurement with the workshop manual values. it's probably all normal. can you do this verification? IMG_20181123_135146.jpg

    it would seem that the numbers of the spare parts
    TE 630 - 8000H3877 and SWMRS650R - 8000H7033
    have been merged with the same SWM number
    Homerb with his purchase this could prove.
    Confirm that the part you have purchased through SWM is the
    8000H7033?

    Thanks for your patience I am always looking for the compatibility of spare parts between RS650R and TE630

    Your old crankshaft probably still has some oil in the roller bearing while the new one probably doesn't. Try to bathe the crankshaft in oil and then see if the new one still seems off

    Somehow I think you may be over thinking this.

    I was overthinking it. Fitted the new SWM crankshaft, and she runs like a champ! I can confirm the Husky and SWM crankshaft, rod, bigend bearing and pin ARE interchangeable.

    That's good news. Thanks for taking the plunge.
