Restore the performance and serviceability of your Yamaha YFZ350 Banshee crankshaft with the HOT RODS 8121 Connecting Rod Kit. Designed for 1987–1996 Yamaha YFZ350 Banshee models, this complete rebuild kit provides the essential components needed to repair a worn crankshaft rather than replace the entire assembly. The kit includes a forged connecting rod, crank pin, crank bearing, wrist pin bearing, and thrust washers.
The connecting rod is manufactured from 8620 AISI forged steel and case hardened for strength, durability, and dependable service under demanding riding conditions. The included crank pin is made from 8620 AISI steel and carburized to improve wear resistance and long-term durability. These components are engineered to support a reliable crankshaft rebuild and help restore proper rotating assembly function.
The HOT RODS 8121 kit also includes SAE-recommended phosphor bronze thrust washers and a high-quality, silver-coated crank pin bearing. The silver coating is designed to promote smooth sliding performance and help reduce operating temperatures. A wrist pin bearing is included as part of the complete kit, simplifying installation and ensuring that the key connecting rod service components are available together.
Manufacturer part number 8121 and vendor part number 8121 identify this HOT RODS replacement kit. Verify crankshaft condition, engine specifications, and model-year fitment before installation. This kit fits the 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, and 1996 Yamaha YFZ350 Banshee.
