    Conrod question

    I have two connecting rods that have a yellow and red stripe paint on the rod. What does that mean?
    Thanks.

      I could not find any info in the Suzuki service manual regarding different connecting rods other than the 1, 2, 3 printed on the lower end of the rod, all four of mine have the number 1 printed on them. All of the dealers only have one part # for the conrod for my bike. I am going to bring all of them over to a machine shop and have them measured to see if there is any differences.

        Took them to a machine shop and all of the measurement were perfect. The only difference was the weight. The ones with the paint weight 1 gram more, without the bearings in place. Would they paint them for being different in weight?
