Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: What are the signs this wrist pin bearing is failing? A: A knocking sound from the top end, low compression, or metal shavings in the cylinder usually point to a worn bearing. It is typically replaced during any piston or ring job.

Q: Can this bearing be installed without specialty tools? A: Most riders install it by hand with the piston pin sliding through cleanly once the bearing is seated in the rod. Verify clearance against your service manual before final assembly.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
