Is my motor counterbalanced? How to tell.
Hi guys, I've been searching for a chart or some way of telling if a particular motor is counterbalanced.
http://lh3.ggpht.com/jhayner/SA_0NeQ...4/IMG_8830.jpg Thats my bike, is it counterbalanced? I linked the pic cause its huge. If we can come up with a definative way of telling, I'll edit this post and add some search terms. Bike is a 2007 Shineray 200XY1 Motor Family (acording to info plate on frame) is 7SHNX.200AXX |

The link to the picture didn't work. Maybe too big for google? 8O
I think it's easy to tell by looking at the front of the engine (closest to the front tire/wheel). If it has a "knot" looking hump at the bottom there, that is the counter balance. The non-balanced engine is smoother there, without the "knot" looking hump. For lack of a better description. I'll see if I can find some pics that show it well. Edit: I'm sure there are better pictures...but these should be enough.

Ahh I see the 'hump' now. Sadly mine is not counterbalanced.
When I get home and have access to some photoediting software I'll find a couple good pictures and circle in red what somebody should look for and post em up here. |
