we have ordered just 10 con rods for the 1990-1995 350 and the 1996-2000 400. they are due at the end of next month-May.

we have taken two pre-orders so 8 left.

when i get these in it will mean that all tthree early engines are covered again for the first time since the factory stopped making them about 8 years ago.

I expect them to be 200 quid inside the EU and about 166 outside.

regards

yes we have stopped selling OEM guides now because they are too loose. the rest is standard issue, all our valves are the same price which makes our gas-flowed inlets more expensive than OEM but the exhausts are cheaper.

no, the 501 rod is shorter.

here is the advert on ebay:
Husaberg Con Rod Kit CPL 501 Model 1994-2000 - Taffmeisters replaces 21005801 | eBay

this rod is more expensive because it is made in Europe.

I don't know the length of the long stroke 501. do you have one? are you sure it is 121mm?

later it was 119mm or 120mm, yes.

Hey Taffy, what every it was from the factory, the bike has never been touched.

I trust your judgement on the length.

by allowing the smaller engine to have the longer rod, you are effectively leaving the barrel alone.

for anyone reading this, a final check is ALWAYS to check that the piston doesn't come over the top of the liner by more than 0.4mm and should only be measured at 3 o clock and 9 o clock. this is over the gudgeon pin where the piston cannot rock.

0.4mm gives you 1.0mm between the head and piston. anything less than this is fine when new but will be contact at 6 o clock and 12 o clock later when worn.
