you got it sickd,thats what happens.thats why i would never put the same balancer back in after a rebuild,poor little buggers do some miles hey.i've heard it a few times now,people putting the same balancer back in then before too long she goes bang again.
fwiw the balancer on the crank is a great idea,i know it probably does increase the crank flex cause the crank has to be a little longer,but you see the other brands how they have to have a separate balancer shaft sticking out the front of the engine cases like an adams apple.an extra shaft with extra bearings & bigger engine cases to fit it all in,it has to all add extra weight to the donk.take a look at the weight difference between a 09-10 fe450 & a 08 fe450,thats part of the reason an 09-10 models are 6.5kg heavier than the 08 fe450's,but weight positioning is better in the newies,so they sort of counteracted the extra weight difference.
