Hot Rods – Connecting Rod Kits, including the 2011 Polaris RZR 900 XP rod bolt kit, the 11-12 and 14-17 Can-Am Commander 800 and 800R rod kits, and the 04-09 Kawasaki KFX 700 V-Force and 08-13 KRF 750 Teryx 4x4 kits. Complete kits arrive with the rod, pin, bearing and washers, and separate connecting rod bolt kits are here for the twins where torque-to-yield hardware is a one-time-use item. Side-by-sides ask more of a bottom end than any other machine on the trail. They are heavy, they haul passengers and cargo, they see full throttle in sand and long climbs at low speed with limited airflow, and that loading is exactly what stretches rods and hammers big-end bearings. A rod that survived years of that duty will not survive the next rebuild. A fresh Hot Rods forged rod kit with new bolts restores clamp load and correct bearing clearance, so the crank stays straight and the engine keeps its torque down low where a UTV actually works. That means confident pulls with a loaded bed and no bottom end noise on the way home. Tell us your year, model and displacement and we will confirm the correct kit first.
