Need a new connecting rod repair kit for a 1984 KTM 250 MX, KTM part number 543.30.015.044.
This was used on all of the KTM 250 models from 1983 - 1989.
The 1985-1989 250 models went to a longer stroke by moving this same conrod (543.30.015.044) out on the crank flywheel so I would even consider buying a new crank if one even exists?
Thanks in advance,
Mike
Hey Mike, It looks like Andre Horvath has them in stock:

Andre is a very good vendor to deal with. As a rule, I always check to see if Al has the part first, then go to Andre's site if he doesn't. Good luck! Kent

Kent thanks for the info/link. I'll order one from Andre and a few other things that I see he has (seat cover, etc).
Thanks again...........but if anyone knows of a new con rod here in the U.S. or Canada I still would like to get one as soon as possible, Jerry Birky over at Penton Racing is boring my cylinder right now and hopefully I can get the engine together here soon.
Thanks,
Mike
I had an '84 in the day, and some of the cranks didn't have a proper radius between the mag side shaft and the crank flywheel, mine broke off after two weeks!, good thing to check if you buy a crank.
After two weeks on a new bike it broke off [:0]
