Fitment: This Hot Rods kit fits select 2014 Yamaha YZ250F, 2015-2018 Yamaha YZ250F, 2015-2019 Yamaha YZ250FX and 2015-2018 Yamaha WR250F models. Verify the year, model and engine application before installation. The Hot Rods manufacturer part number and vendor part number are both 8717.
The connecting rod is manufactured from 8620 AISI forged steel and case hardened for strength and durability. The 8620 AISI carburized crank pin is engineered to withstand demanding engine loads, while the included SAE-recommended phosphor bronze thrust washers support dependable crankshaft operation. The high-quality silver-coated crank pin bearing promotes improved sliding performance and reduced operating temperatures, and the included wrist pin bearing completes the rebuild package.
