I have bought a 1275 A+ that I'm taking apart and checking if everything is OK.

So far it looks reasonable - but I'm quite puzzled by the crank. 

 

It is an "CAM6232" - but sections of the counter weights have been shaved off..

I assume it is because someone has balanced it prior to me buying it ?

 

Should I be weary as to fit it with a lightened flywheel?

 

(Specs will be: Kent 276, ported 940 bigvalve head, compression 10.5:1, cambelt conversion, Cooper Freeflow manifold, RC40 exhaust, 2xHS2 on ported original manifold.)

I ask my crank what's up with her every day - thankfully she's still in bed atm,,,,,,

 

 

In regards to your crank, looks factory normal to me.

I tried to find other images of mini cranks on google - but none showed up like this.

It's correct, that's how they were finished at the works.
