Quad bike connecting rods and parts

Match the engine and the part reference

Use the complete model, year and variant alongside the part reference. Read any application notes, especially if the engine or crankshaft has been changed. Compare dimensions only where they are specified; engine capacity alone is not enough to select a rod.

Decide how much of the assembly you need

Check the stated contents against the parts required for the planned work. A connecting rod kit and a complete crankshaft assembly are different buying choices. Browse crankshafts and parts if you need an assembly, or return to crankshafts and connecting rods to compare both routes.

Does a connecting rod kit include the pin and bearings?

Check the supplied-parts list for the exact reference. Do not assume a pin, bearing or washers are included because the item is called a kit. Confirm any missing detail before ordering, and account for parts already supplied with another kit.

Will a rod listed for the same engine size fit my quad?

Use the full application rather than the engine size alone. Match the model, year, variant and any restrictions in the listing. If your engine differs from the original specification, confirm the required reference for that engine before choosing a rod.

How do I choose a separate connecting rod bearing?

Identify the bearing required for the particular assembly, then compare its reference and any stated size or grade with the engine manufacturer's specification. Resolve an unclear size or grade before ordering; a shared vehicle application does not settle that detail.

What should I check when buying other engine parts at the same time?

Compare each listing with the parts list for the planned work and remove any duplicated kit contents. Use engine parts for the wider range, but check every component against its own application rather than assuming it matches because it sits in the same category.
