Kawasaki Connecting Rods: Redmond Swimming LLC Steps Up Engine Reliability

Redmond Swimming LLC, based in Kirkland, Washington, might sound like a surprising name for a high-performance engine parts supplier, but don't let that fool you. We're a dedicated team of engineers and motorsports enthusiasts quietly building a reputation for quality and precision in the world of engine components. Originally established to cater to the demanding needs of watercraft repair and customization – hence the name – we’ve expanded our expertise to serve a broader range of engine applications, and Kawasaki enthusiasts are quickly taking notice. Our address is 902 5th ST, Kirkland, WA, 98033-5634, and you can reach us at 330-766-5971 if you have any questions. For years, we’ve been focused on sourcing and, increasingly, manufacturing critical engine parts that hold up under extreme stress. We saw a need for better, more reliable connecting rods, particularly for Kawasaki motorcycles and ATVs that are pushed to their limits – whether that’s on the track, through tough trails, or just being ridden hard. That’s why we’ve invested heavily in developing a premium line of Kawasaki connecting rods. What’s the Big Deal with Connecting Rods Anyway? Okay, let’s get a little technical, but we’ll keep it real. Your engine’s connecting rods are huge. Seriously. They connect the pistons to the crankshaft, translating the up-and-down motion of the pistons into the rotational force that drives your wheels. Think of them like the legs of an athlete – they take a lot of punishment. If a connecting rod fails, things go south fast. It’s often catastrophic – meaning your engine is likely totaled. Stock connecting rods, especially in high-performance applications or older machines, can be a weak point. They can bend, break, or fatigue over time, leading to engine failure. That’s where our rods come in. Redmond Swimming LLC Kawasaki Connecting Rods: Built to Last We don't just slap rods together. We've spent months analyzing failure points in stock Kawasaki rods, researching materials, and refining our manufacturing processes. Here's what sets our Kawasaki connecting rods apart: Superior Material: We use only 4340 forged chromoly steel. This isn't your run-of-the-mill steel. It's incredibly strong and durable, offering a fantastic strength-to-weight ratio. It can withstand extreme temperatures and pressures without bending or breaking. Forget about cheaper alternatives - this is the stuff that professionals rely on. Forged, Not Cast: This is a big one. Forged connecting rods are much stronger and more reliable than cast rods. The forging process aligns the grain structure of the steel, making it incredibly resistant to fatigue and cracking. Think of it like wood grain – a straight grain is much stronger than a twisted one. Precision Machining: We use state-of-the-art CNC machining centers to ensure every rod meets our exacting specifications. This means tight tolerances, perfectly aligned bearing bores, and consistent dimensions. We're talking about thousandths of an inch accuracy. Shot Peening: We shot peen every rod. What's shot peening? It's a process where tiny steel balls are blasted at the rod, creating compressive stresses on the surface. This significantly increases the rod's resistance to fatigue and cracking, extending its lifespan. Heat Treatment: Our rods undergo a precise heat treatment process to optimize their strength and ductility. This ensures they're both incredibly strong and able to withstand impact without shattering. Balanced for Performance: Each rod is individually balanced to minimize vibrations and ensure smooth engine operation. This not only improves performance but also reduces stress on other engine components. Multiple Sizes Available: We offer a wide range of sizes to fit various Kawasaki models and engine configurations. We currently support many popular models including: Kawasaki KX Series (KX250, KX450) Kawasaki KFX Series (KFX450R, KFX450X) Kawasaki Ninja Series (Ninja 250R, Ninja 300R) Kawasaki Jet Ski Models (Please inquire for specific compatibility) Who Are These Rods For? Our Kawasaki connecting rods are ideal for: Racers: If you’re pushing your Kawasaki to the limit on the track, you need connecting rods you can rely on. Our rods will give you the peace of mind to focus on winning. Trail Riders: Aggressive trail riding puts a lot of stress on engine components. Our rods will withstand the abuse and keep you going. Performance Enthusiasts: If you’ve modified your Kawasaki engine for more power, you need connecting rods that can handle the increased stress. Anyone Who Wants Reliability: Let’s face it, engine failure is a major headache. Our rods are a preventative measure that can save you time, money, and frustration.
