Replace the worn needle cage of the connecting rod big end with a precision part from HOT RODS. This needle cage, manufacturer reference WB104, is designed to ensure smooth and controlled rotation between the crank pin and the big end of the connecting rod in motocross engines. Compact and understated, it is suitable for maintenance or engine rebuilds on lightweight machines.
This replacement part is particularly suitable for the models listed in compatibility: YAMAHA YZ 65 (2025, 2026) and YAMAHA YZ 80 (1992). Always check the dimensions and reference on your engine before installation. The needle cage plays a crucial role in lubrication and reducing play between the connecting rod big end and the crank pin; a clean installation and lubrication according to manufacturer specifications will extend the lifespan of the assembly.
Workshop tip: check the condition of the crank pin and supporting surfaces, and prefer installation by an experienced mechanic if you are unsure about tolerances and engine timing.
