Recreational Motorsports has designed a new high strength billet connecting rod for the Yamaha SRX 120/Snoscoot, Arctic Cat ZR 120 2010 & Newer/200, and Skidoo MXZ 120/200.
Our new billet connecting rod comes with replaceable bearing insert, stronger rod beam strength, and better oiling holes which allows you to turn higher RPM without worrying about rod failure.
This rod is a MUST HAVE for running modified engines.
200 CONNECTING ROD INSTRUCTIONS
To install your connecting rod, you will need a 12 point ¼” socket and a quality ¼” drive in/lbs. torque wrench (a 3/8”
drive torque wrench with a ¼” adaptor will also work).
1. 2. Clean and inspect the rod. Be certain there is no dirt, filings, or other contaminants between the bearing and rod
bore or the serrations of the rod cap and beam. Note the two little dots milled into the side of the rod above and
below the parting edge. They are there to help you orient the cap and the beam.
Once clearance is set, apply some assembly lube to the rod, crank, and wrist pin, and install everything. Be very
careful when installing the piston/rod into the block to avoid contact between the crank and rod serrations.
Install the rod with moly lube on the threads bolts and torque to 150 in/lbs. It is better to be slightly over these
torque specs than to be below them. It is also a good practice to periodically recheck torque.
IMPROPERLY TORQUING ROD BOLTS IS ONE OF THE MOST COMMON CAUSES OF ROD FAILURE.
