VINTCO connecting rod kit for HUSQVARNA CR 125, WR 125, XC 125 and HONDA CR 125 R from 1974 to 1987

VINTCO offers this connecting rod kit for HUSQVARNA CR 125, WR 125, XC 125 and HONDA CR 125 R from 1974 to 1987. The rod passes the piston’s motion to the crankshaft. Its big-end bearing spins at very high revs and eventually develops play.

Why replace the connecting rod?

The benefits:

• Remove the play that causes noise and vibration.
• Make a high-hours engine reliable again.
• Cheaper than a complete crankshaft when the flywheels are good.

Why choose VINTCO?

Vintco rods are reinforced forged steel and come with big-end and small-end bearings and washers: a complete rebuild for a vintage two-stroke.

When should you replace the connecting rod?

Unusual vibration, a deep knock that follows engine speed or play in the con-rod: the bottom end needs a rebuild.

The manufacturer publishes no hour interval for this model: have the con-rod play checked at every piston change. Cross-Mania guideline: rebuild the bottom end every 2 to 3 top-end rebuilds.
