WOSSNER connecting rod kit for YAMAHA WR 450 F, YZ 450 F, YZ 450 FX from 2020 to 2023

WOSSNER offers this connecting rod kit for YAMAHA WR 450 F, YZ 450 F, YZ 450 FX from 2020 to 2023. 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 WOSSNER?

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 YAMAHA WR 450 F?

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.
