Not so sure anyone can tell you a specific number because all of the other parts fail before the crank.

In other words, they're pretty butch.

i snapped my crank in half when i was bone stock. i think that it had a flaw or something from the factory. it only had 40000 miles on it.

You don't get much info on exactly what a stock crank will hold because so very few have failed despite plenty of folks trying
