Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if my rod bearing is failing?
The most common symptom is a distinct, rhythmic knocking or tapping sound from the engine that increases with RPM, often called "rod knock." Other signs include low oil pressure warnings and visible metallic particles or shavings in the engine oil during an oil change.
Will this bearing fit my 1999 Suzuki DT50?
Yes. This bearing is specified to fit all Suzuki DT50 2-Stroke models from 1984 and newer, which includes the 1999 model year.
What causes a new rod bearing to fail prematurely?
The primary causes of premature failure are improper installation, insufficient lubrication upon assembly, oil contamination (from dirt, debris, or old oil), or incorrect clearances. Always use assembly lube and follow service manual specifications exactly.
Is this a complete set for the engine?
No, this listing is for a single rod bearing. Engines with multiple cylinders will require one bearing per connecting rod. It is often recommended to replace them as a complete set during an engine rebuild.
OEM vs. Aftermarket?
This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). Built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials. Manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility, batch-inspected for consistency.
