Some time back some Forumites (BigK from memory) helped out with some part number "X" references against other brand/make components for a PE250T, SeaDoo for a rod as an example.
Time has come to check in on the same process for a 1978 PE/RM-250. I have checked the following part numbers for the 78 PE & RM and they are listed as being the same with some commanality with the 79/80 250's, although most not avaliable from Suzuki.
Whilst i could get them genuine from USA and probably from the usual pay more than they are worth search services, if i can get them as an aftermarket part through some of the aussie importers i'd be happier.
Con-Rod - 12161-41103
Main Pin - 12211-41101
Small Bearing - 09263-18011
Big Bearing - 09263-24026
Thrust Washer - 09160-24015
The parts system tells me that;
- The small end bearing is shared from the 1978 PE & RM right through to the 1980 PE & RM
- The thrust washer is shared from the 1978 PE & RM right through to the 1980 PE. The RM N/T is different.
- The crank pin is shared from the 1978 PE & RM right through to the 1980 PE. The RM N/T is different.
- The main bearing is common to the 1978 PE & RM but different to the RM N/T & the PE N/T
- The conrod is common to the the 1978 PE & RM but different to the RM N/T & the PE N/T
If anyone has a X-reference to a Hot-Rod, Pro-X it would be appreciated.

"The conrod is common to the the 1978 PE & RM but different to the RM N/T & the PE N/T"
that can't be right! The PE250N shared the same rod as the PE B and C.
Still available from Suzuki, or from Ron Anchack.

79 PE rod is different to 80-82
79 PE250 - ROD - 12161-41101
80/81/82 PE250 - ROD - 12161-40300
79/80 RM250 -ROD - 12161-40300
you go to remember the PE was one year behind the RM. 79 PE still had the old rod and only got the 79 RM rod in 1980

Give these guy's a bell, or send details of your old rod for them to match one up to.

I deal with BBI a lot, but what helps is if there has been expierence from others where a rod from another machine can be used.
eg: The rod from a 800cc SkiDoo snowmobile fits a PE250 N/T. If you were to supply the PE250 N/T dimensions to BBI they wouldn't come back with a match as you have to use other parts to complete the job.
I can get a genuine rod, but at a significantly higher cost than a HotRod or ProX rod etc.
-
Can someone confirm the numbers above?
I have these numbers from my Suzuki microfiche so if they are correct then i would suggest that anchakandsons website is incorrectly listing the rod for the PE250N, the rest of the model listing looks good however.
I also note on the anchakandsons website that if you want a PE400 rod, then use a SeaDoo rod with 2 thrust washers per side. I don't know if i would be happy placing 2 thrust washers together. They also note that the crank pin is NG but offer no solution as what to use. When last i chased 400 parts the pin was as rare to get as the rod.

1982 PE250Z - (N/A)
Its the same as the T/X (12161-40300)
Im not sure where you have found out that the PE250 N rod is 12161-40300 ? I checked alpha-sports and it is listed as a 12161-41101 and superceeds to 12161-41103. I have always seen lots of PE250 N con rod kits on ebay but i have never bought them for my PE250T knowing that the rod is different.
My first suggestion would be to fax the rod dimensions to BBI. There is another company with a huge list of rod dimensions but i can not think of who or where they are. I have a vague feeling Lozza knows them?
There has been discussion about the PE400 rod kit on the PE Forum but i cant remember what the story was with the big end pin.

Bahnsy. How many PE 400 B/E pins do you want, ( not letting that one out of the bag ) It's a case of doing a little bit of research and cross referencing that's what yield results ;)
As I said before arm youself with dimensions and cross check for a match.........this could take hours - days or months ( in my case longer - but ended up being a life saver )
The seadoo rod in my Pe 400 is still going strong with 2 thrust washers , last outing was a 4 hour enduro ;)
-
Doing too many numbers, i stand corrected. :-\
1979 RM250N - 12161-40300
1979 PE250N - 12161- 40300 41103
1980 RM250T - 12161-40300
1980 PE250T - 12161-40300
-
Pins i have nailed, BBI gets me over the line for the 250 & the 400.
Just a little machining to reduce the overall length of the pin.
-
What are the Dimensions ...... centre to centres ID top and bottom thickness top and bottom overall length internal spacings

Hi Guys,
the PE250 rod # 12161-41103 is used in the PE250B,C,N and the RM250A,B,C,C2 motors. 12161-40300 is the PE250T,X and RM250T,X rod.
I am in the process of updating/changing the PE400 rod kit. I have found a new thrust washer to use, we will not have to "stack" 2 washers together. I am going to order the sample washers today and when I get them I will try them in a crank assembly. I am also going to supply the PE400 rod kit as a "complete" kit. What I mean is the Seadoo crank pin isn't used, we use the OEM PE400 pin. I am going to take out all of the unused items in the HotRods package and put together what is needed to do a PE400 crank. I should have done this from the start. Thanks, Ron Anchak

Ron,
A credit to you.
Identify the issue, do something about and advertise to the consumers that it has occured. Thank-you.

Rod, thanks for the praise. I should have addressed this issue sooner.
If you need help with a rod and parts for your PE250 I can help. Thanks, Ron
-
HEy i went to you web site and it dont show the NEw PE 400 rod kit your talking about ? still has the 4 bottom washers and 2 up the top ?
looking for a kit for a PE400 - 1980 is that a T or X ? i know SFA about PE's
-
Freaky, settle down ole mate ..... there never was 2 washers used in the "Seadoo" rod swap @ top end. REMEMEBER it is crank guide not piston guide. They may be needed when using his 1mm O/S piston ???
-
OldFart is right, the 1mm oversize piston kit includes extra washers(spacers). The first run of pistons had a larger pin opening boss than the OEM. The second run will have the same opening as the OEM. I should have the improved rod kit out soon.
