Hot Rods OEM Standard Crankshaft – Yamaha Banshee 350 Performance Rebuild Crank
The Yamaha Banshee 350 is more than an ATV—it’s a symbol of raw two-stroke power, aggressive sound, and race-bred DNA that defined an entire generation of sport quads. At the core of every legendary Banshee engine is one critical component that determines how hard you can ride, how long your engine lasts, and how confidently you can push RPM: the crankshaft.
The Hot Rods OEM Standard Crankshaft for Yamaha Banshee is engineered to restore your engine’s rotating assembly to factory-correct geometry while delivering modern durability, balance, and reliability that meets—and often exceeds—OEM standards. Whether you’re rebuilding a tired stock motor, refreshing a dune Banshee, or creating a dependable foundation for future mods, this crankshaft is the gold standard trusted by professional builders worldwide.
Designed for True OEM Replacement Performance
Unlike cheap aftermarket cranks that cut corners on materials and balancing, Hot Rods manufactures this Banshee crankshaft using OEM-grade forged steel components, precision-machined and dynamically balanced for smooth operation at high RPM. Every crank is trued, pressed, welded, and balanced to exact tolerances, ensuring minimal vibration, consistent power delivery, and long bearing life.
This is not a “universal” crank—it is a direct-fit OEM standard stroke crankshaft, designed specifically for the Yamaha Banshee 350 engine platform. That means stock piston speed, factory rod length, and perfect compatibility with OEM or OEM-replacement bearings, seals, and cases.
Built for the Way Banshees Are Actually Ridden
Banshees don’t live easy lives. They see wide-open throttle runs across dunes, repeated clutch drops at the track, aggressive trail riding, and constant high-RPM abuse. The Hot Rods Banshee crankshaft is built to thrive in these conditions.
Each unit features precision-ground crank pins, high-strength connecting rods, and premium big-end bearings designed to handle sustained RPM and shock loads from hard launches. This translates to smoother revs, stronger midrange pull, and confidence when you’re on the pipe.
Ideal Foundation for Stock or Mild Performance Builds
If you’re running a stock bore Banshee or planning light mods like pipes, reeds, porting, or aftermarket carbs, this crankshaft provides the perfect baseline. It maintains factory timing and stroke characteristics, keeping your powerband predictable and your tuning straightforward.
Many engine builders specifically recommend the Hot Rods OEM crank for riders who want maximum reliability now with the flexibility to upgrade later without tearing the engine back apart.
Why Hot Rods Over Other Crankshaft Options?
Hot Rods has earned its reputation by supplying crankshafts to professional race teams, OEM-level rebuilders, and performance shops across the world. Their Yamaha Banshee crankshafts are not mass-produced junk—they are purpose-built engine components with tight quality control.
Compared to used OEM cranks, this new unit eliminates hidden fatigue, worn rod bearings, and out-of-round journals. Compared to budget aftermarket alternatives, it offers superior balancing, metallurgy, and long-term reliability.
Two-Stroke Heritage You Can Trust
The Banshee represents the peak of two-stroke ATV engineering, and rebuilding one deserves components that respect that legacy. The Hot Rods OEM Standard Crankshaft delivers the sound, snap, and soul Banshee riders expect—without sacrificing durability.
Whether you’re restoring a classic, refreshing a hard-ridden machine, or building a clean street-style Banshee, this crankshaft ensures your engine is built on a foundation worthy of the name.
