Restore dependable bottom-end performance with the Hot Rods Part Number 8726 Connecting Rod Kit. Designed for select Yamaha YZ250 and YZ250X models, this complete kit provides the primary components needed to repair a worn crankshaft assembly rather than replacing the entire unit. The kit includes a forged connecting rod, crank pin, crank bearing, wrist pin bearing, and thrust washers for a comprehensive rebuild solution.
The connecting rod is manufactured from 8620 AISI forged steel and case hardened for strength and durability. The included crank pin uses 8620 AISI carburized steel to withstand demanding engine loads, while the silver-coated crankpin bearing supports smoother sliding performance and reduced operating temperatures. A wrist pin bearing is also included to help restore proper piston-to-connecting-rod movement.
Engineered for use with the listed Yamaha applications, the Hot Rods 8726 kit is suited to riders and technicians performing crankshaft repairs or engine overhauls. SAE-recommended phosphor bronze thrust washers complete the kit and support proper crankshaft positioning. Verify the motorcycle model and model year before installation to ensure compatibility.
Fitment: 2016–2017 Yamaha YZ250X; 1999–2006 Yamaha YZ250. Manufacturer and vendor part number: Hot Rods 8726.
