WÖSSNER Connecting Rod Kit for KTM EXC 500, EXCF 500 and HUSQVARNA FE 501 2017-2020

WÖSSNER offers this connecting rod kit for KTM EXC 500, EXCF 500 and HUSQVARNA FE 501 2017-2020. 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 WÖSSNER?

Wössner has also forged its own connecting rods since 2010, with the same in-house forging expertise as its pistons.

When should you replace the connecting rod on your HUSQVARNA FE 501?

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.
