250-500cc Con rod

[Mike K]

I had a lower rod bearing fail in a 1994 wxe 250 and am having a hard time finding a replacement rod kit would anyone know of cross overs from different years or makes

 

[Petar]

I have the same bike and the same problem.

Try giving Vince at http://www.mrcrankshaft.com/ a call. He did some great work for me. Maybe he can machine a custom crank pin to use a different con rod of equal length that is available

 

[Mike K]

may have found the solution to my problem will post more if definite

Have you installed yet or is it a maybe fit ?

I compared all the measurements and they are exactly the same there is only a slight difference in the length of the crank pin and by compared I mean measured 3 times with two calipers and all the same so I'm pretty confident it will fit

It sounds promising.

What is the situation with the KTM con rod? Is it fit on the Husky Crankshaft already without problem ?

 

[Mike K]

Still waiting for the parts to show up should know this week hopefully... missing my ride time

 

[Mike K]

Ok rod kit finally showed up and crank is back together with only one very minor mod the crank pin in the kit was around 1.7mm longer nothing the lathe couldnt fix though. Hope this helps anyone with the same problem

 

[rancher1]

Give us a ride report on how it runs when you get the chance.

 

[Mike K]

well got the bike back together and broken in and all seems normal running like it was before

Hi,
is that Rod the: Pro-X KTM SX 2000-2002
Part No. Pro-X. 03.6320 ?

Are the Big/Small end bearings that come with the rod able to be Used,
without modification?

How is the bike running now with the rod?
Cheers

 

[Mike K]

yeah that is the part # the only thing that had to be modified was the crank pin the ktm one is is a bit longer but the bearings are the same

haven't had much time to ride lately but been on a few runs and it's running fine

 

[husk99]

Finding a rod kit for one of these bikes.
