Yamaha YZ 125 22-26 Athena engine kit Connecting rod and gaskets

Connecting rod kit and engine gaskets from manufacturer Athena for Yamaha YZ 125 22-26.

The Athena Connecting rod and engine gasket kit is a technical set developed for the complete engine rebuild of enduro and motocross motorcycles. This package from the Athena brand brings together the essential mechanical components to work on both the top end and the crankcase in a single workshop operation, ensuring proper sealing and coordinated operation of the lower part of the engine.

Replacement of the Connecting rod and gaskets is recommended during the preventive maintenance intervals specified by the manufacturer, or when signs of wear appear such as vertical play in the crankshaft, metallic noises in the crankcase, or loss of compression and fluids. Replacing these elements together prevents serious failures in the Cylinder and ensures that no air leaks remain after closing the engine again.

This kit includes a forged Connecting rod manufactured in Japan, characterized by its strict dimensional tolerances and high structural strength under high-revving conditions. The gasket kit is made with materials of specifications equivalent to the original ones, avoiding the need for modifications or adaptations to the original crankcases during assembly.
