Re: crankshaft balancer
Others have done it some say it vibrated some say it did not, can't seem to find a consensus on it. Gokart guys do it all the time but run high rpm. I would not be afraid to try it. Some have tried to repair the case and not had very good luck with it. It need precision machining and likely a bushing/bearing pressed in, or weld it up and machine. It would take some doing to locate it properly in a cnc its the setup time that kills you, might need a special fixture you have to make, etc. It might be easier to machine a whole new cover they do it for clones that race, but not going to be free lol. My g9 didn't knock at all but I put a clone in it, it was twice the power for half the price. Since I trail ride the extra power is really nice, plus I just like to screw around and spin the tires lol.

Re: crankshaft balancer
No vibrations, it is a one cylinder engine.
