CONNECTING ROD KIT 88-07 CR125, HOTROD 8101 HONDA 104mm
Hot Rods Connecting Rod Kit 8101. This high-quality connecting rod kit is manufactured from hot-rolled ASTM 4115 steel and case-hardened to 58-62 Rc for exceptional durability. The advanced design includes side scalloping and vent slots to reduce high-rpm bearing race distortion. Double-forged construction enhances grain flow and dimensional consistency, while shot peening and double-honing increase strength under heavy loads. The small ends are double-drilled to improve lubrication and cooling for the wrist pin bearing. Thrust washers and crank pin bearings are silver-coated to enhance lubricity. Kits include all necessary components: rod, crank pin, crank pin bearing, top-end bearing, and thrust washers. Connecting rod dimensions (mm): A = 104, B = 15, C = 22, D = 16, E = 16, F = 54. Part Number: 56-912.HR.

FULL DESCRIPTION
Hot Rods Connecting Rod Kit for Honda CR125R
This high-performance connecting rod kit is engineered for riders seeking superior durability and reliability in their Honda CR125R. Designed as a direct replacement, this kit ensures your engine performs at its peak, even under demanding conditions.
Manufactured from premium hot-rolled ASTM 4115 steel, this connecting rod is case-hardened to a hardness of 58-62 Rc, providing exceptional resistance to wear and fatigue. The advanced design incorporates side scalloping and vent slots to significantly reduce distortion of the bearing race at high RPMs, contributing to longer component life.
Experience enhanced strength and consistency thanks to the double-forged construction, which optimizes grain flow. Further strengthening is achieved through shot peening and double-honing processes, ensuring this rod can withstand heavy loads. The small ends of the rod feature double-drilled holes to improve lubrication and cooling of the wrist pin bearing, a crucial detail for pistons with designs close to the wrist pin.
For maximum lubricity and reduced friction, the thrust washers and crank pin bearings are silver-coated. This complete kit includes all the essential components for a professional installation: the connecting rod, crank pin, crank pin bearing, top-end bearing, and necessary thrust washers.
