Does anyone know what’s available aftermarket? I found Wossner, but wanted to see if there maybe others I haven’t seen. Thanks!

You want a whole crank or a rod rebuild kit? Lots of teams go to Crank works in AZ. They make their own rod too.
Thanks for responding. I’m asking for my brother. He was looking for cheaper options than oem for a whole crank.
There is a time to be cheap.. but being cheap on the crank is a VERY bad idea. Have it rebuilt by Crank works with a new rod....
Great point.

Agree that a crank is definitely not an area to skimp quality on.
Wossner makes quality parts so if you can find a place close by that does cranks and trues them to a very high degree and has a good reputation, that would be a way to go. Shipping cranks can get expensive. You will have to run the numbers on your end and compare with OEM and see how it stacks up.
Edit: Does Wossner make a complete crank for the 250f? If they do, that would be the way to go. I know they do a complete crank for the two-stroke but I am not sure about the four stroke.
It may be worth it to explore outside options for rebuilding. I had a local guy rebuild my KTM crank, he’s owned a standalone motorcycle shop in the area for 20 years and built stock car engines before that. Dropped him off $50 and a Pro-X rod kit. No complaints here.
This is how I've always dealt with cranks. Find a local machine shop that works on small engines. Chances are you're out $50 and whatever the cost of a new rod and bearing kit. And you might learn something in the process.
Shipping 10lb cranks all over the US or buying complete cranks that still need to be balanced/trued is for the birds.
When it comes to motorcycle parts I don’t like throwing anything away that is still usable in a pinch or serviceable. I have saved myself tons of money and days of riding from having stuff that most would’ve tossed.
I think his friend wants to get the bike out of his garage, as soon as, possible. While this is a good option, I think he probably doesn’t want to wait on someone to rebuild it.
Wossner does, but it looks like they’re out of stock right now. I was surprised at the low price.
+1 for crank works in Arizona. We've used them for over a decade and have always gotten great results. They're not china cheap and it wont be back on your doorstep the very next day but if he's intending on actually putting hours on the bike, it's worth having a good shop rebuild the stock crank over a cheap aftermarket crank. There's also plenty of good shops and technicians out there who can rebuild and true cranks, so crank works isn't the only place to send it to but they have been the best for us all these years, so I just recommend what we know and trust.
