Hey Guys,
We were lucky enough to pick up a 1980 YZ250 and 1972 Pursang MK6 172 for $500.00 that was sitting in a guys garage for years. There was so much dust on them you couldn't even see what color they were. Anyways, I need to put a rod kit in the YZ but am having a hard time finding one for it. I called Hot Rod's, Crank Works, and a couple other companies and they only make the kits going back to 1983 (which won't work for the 1980). They all told me to contact Yamaha and order a OEM one from them, so I called Yamaha. They discontinued the rod kit so I can't get it from them.
Does anybody know of a company where I can buy one or know of anyone that has one laying around that we can buy? Any help would be much appreciated!

Here's a connecting rod on Ebay that claims to fit a YZ250G, possibly you could pick the other parts up elsewhere?

When I rebuilt my 1981 YZ250H, I found a japanese off brand rod kit on ebay and it worked fine.
Good luck!
