Thanks for this video, i have a 2016 track bike and been great, but ive got to say im pretty worried now that the crank will let go after all of the horror stories. Do you think there are any particular things to avoid doing to keep the chances of failure down?
@@philseton5796 Thank you Phil, i just recently subscribed and noticed you didn't make much videos on engine knowledge for quite some time, i appreciate the video.
Very good video. I own a 2016 R1 and have been worrying about these crankshaft failure videos. This puts my mind at rest a bit.

Morning Wayne. I would avoid overrevving mate.
Thank you Phil, you're the man. Can you please comment on the usage / condition of the demonstrated silver crank case, i.e. track time.
Yeah no problem. The silver cases had 6k racing miles, the black cases had 2k road miles.
@@philseton5796 Excellent, thanks again. All looks good.
I'm surprised it's not just called crankshaft end play. I'm used to that terminology :D
Sorry Lime. Float is the terminology I was taught back in the days of my apprenticeship. It's the same thing.
