if its the only mod u have dun bother spend the money elsewhere...it will allow ur engine to rev up easier cause less wieght on the crank....but spend the money on fuel ignition system and i/h/e and so on first....dun bother with pully's right off

crank pulleys are a waste of money and will RUIN your motor!

you have been warned !

stock honda pulleys are weighed & balanced specificly for that motor, and if you change it, you lessen the dampening force (vibrations) and your crankshaft bearings and main caps get burnt and ruined.

when you change the weights the damper cannot compensate for the vibrations, and it burns the main bearing caps on the crankshaft....i have seen them dont look pretty at all!

check how hard your old rubber insert is. guess you should replace it? i have had no problems w/UR pulleys. all motor losses were actually caused by human error but nobody wants to admit it so they blame the part. don't overtorque your crank bolt
