Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if my rod bearing is failing?
The most common sign of a worn rod bearing is a distinct, rhythmic metallic knocking or tapping sound from the engine that often increases with RPM. Other symptoms can include low oil pressure readings and the presence of fine metal shavings in the engine oil during an oil change.
Can I use this bearing in a 4-stroke Suzuki engine?
No, this bearing is manufactured specifically for the 2-stroke engine architecture of the Suzuki models listed in the compatibility table. It is not compatible with 4-stroke engines.
Does installation require special tools?
Yes. Proper installation is a press-fit process that requires a hydraulic press and correctly sized mandrels to ensure the bearing is seated correctly without causing damage to the bearing or the connecting rod. Professional installation is strongly recommended.
What is the difference between part number 09263-20051 and 09263-20051-000?
These part numbers are interchangeable. The "-000" suffix is an internal designation used by Suzuki in some regions for inventory purposes, but it refers to the exact same part specifications.
Is the compatibility with 2016-2017 DT9.9A models confirmed?
This compatibility is mentioned by some aftermarket sources but is not universally confirmed in official OEM catalogs. If you own one of these models, we strongly advise verifying the OEM part number directly from your engine's service manual before purchasing.
