Te 511 Bottom End Rebuild

Here is the link http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/help-crankshaft-rebuild.85678/. I just noticed you need the 511 crank not the 449.

Yeah I am more curious about the TE511 crankshaft as that is what I have. Although I have really low miles compared to most now a days. So not a huge concern but thought eventually some one here will need this.

I thought by law KTM had to remake the parts for the bikes for 10 years? I know the bmw crank is available and probably will be for some time.

449 vs 511 is all in the Jug & piston. Bottom end is the same

There is a difference in the early and late Husky cranks, BMW falls into the early Husky I believe. Keyway for the stator is different. When Zipty redid my G450X I needed a new gear for the updated crank that was sent.

Who knows if law follows when companies get sold?

Aren't these motors still available, new- in a crate, for like $2200? Seems like I remember seeing that, which makes me think that cranks should be attainable.

good luck

CCM pretty much cleaned out all the readily available spare stock around the place building their GP450 adventure bikes.
Kymco have scrapped the remaining complete engines held there to free up factory space after CCM 'Forgot' to reply to a request to buy them or miss out.
This is the reason the GP450 model was discontinued despite holding orders for bikes.

As for the other comments on 449 VS 511, it's only 26cc, but if the 511 piston and barrel are usable, they're the only parts needed to turn the 449 into a 511. The bottom end is irrelevant.

Here's something interesting, looks like 2012-2014 crankshaft is not available:

But 2011 is:

I wonder what the difference is.

The part number supersedes from one to the other, in both directions....

so I guess shit changed in the 2 years since I wrote that. seems to be happening more and more.
