Connecting rod KTM EXC 125 98-16 / SX 125 07-15 / SX 144 07-08 / SX 150 09-15 Italkit

Connecting rod from manufacturer Italkit for KTM EXC 125 98-16 / SX 125 07-15 / SX 144 07-08 / SX 150 09-15.

The replacement of the connecting rod is a key operation, as it is one of the tightest components of the crankshaft assembly. A connecting rod in poor condition can cause play, abnormal vibrations, loss of compression, or even catastrophic engine failure.

This connecting rod kit includes all the necessary elements for a complete assembly rebuild: forged connecting rod, crank pin, needle cages (upper and lower), and thrust washers. It is designed to offer reliability at high revs and optimal lubrication thanks to precise machining and strict tolerances.

Its installation is recommended during any crankshaft rebuild or when symptoms such as internal metallic noise, axial play at the small or big end of the connecting rod, or irregular wear of the cages are present. It is essential to check the alignment of the crankshaft after assembly to avoid imbalances that could affect the engine's longevity.
