Kawasaki Connecting Rods: REDMOND SWIMMING LLC Steps Up Engine Performance with Precision Parts

REDMOND SWIMMING LLC, based in Kirkland, Washington (902 5TH ST, KIRKLAND, WA, 98033-5634, UNITED STATES, 330-766-5971), might not be the first name that springs to mind when you think of high-performance engine parts. You might be wondering, “Swimming and engine parts? What’s the connection?” Well, it’s all about precision, strength, and a commitment to quality – values we apply whether we’re designing streamlined swimming equipment or crafting top-tier Kawasaki connecting rods. We’ve quietly been building a reputation as a trusted supplier of critical engine components, and now we’re excited to talk about what we’re doing for Kawasaki enthusiasts. Let's get straight to it: we specialize in manufacturing and supplying high-performance connecting rods specifically designed for a wide range of Kawasaki motorcycles and ATVs. We’re not just selling rods; we’re providing the backbone for serious engine builds. Why Connecting Rods Matter (and Why Ours Are Different) Okay, let's break it down. What is a connecting rod, and why is it such a big deal? Simply put, the connecting rod links the piston to the crankshaft. As the piston moves up and down in the cylinder, the connecting rod transforms that linear motion into the rotational motion that powers your Kawasaki. It’s a vital component, taking a serious beating with every single combustion cycle. Stock connecting rods are generally built to handle standard engine operation. But what happens when you start pushing the limits? What if you're adding a turbo, supercharger, nitrous, or just generally increasing the horsepower and RPMs? That’s where things get interesting, and where stock rods often fall short. They can bend, stretch, or even snap under increased stress. And that can lead to catastrophic engine failure – a blown engine, a ruined ride, and a whole lot of expense. That’s where REDMOND SWIMMING LLC comes in. Our Kawasaki connecting rods are engineered to withstand way more than stock components. We've seen riders who've pushed their engines to levels they never thought possible, all thanks to the strength and reliability of our rods. What Makes Our Kawasaki Connecting Rods Stand Out? We don't just slap some metal together. We put serious thought and engineering into every single rod. Here’s a closer look at what sets us apart: Material Selection: We use only the highest-quality 4340 forged steel. This isn’t your average steel; it's incredibly strong, durable, and resistant to fatigue. Think of it like the difference between a flimsy plastic toy and a solid steel tool. It’s built to last. Forging Process: We utilize a precision forging process that aligns the grain structure of the steel, maximizing its strength and preventing potential weak spots. This isn’t just casting metal; it’s shaping it for optimal performance. Heat Treatment: Our rods undergo a rigorous heat treatment process to further enhance their strength and toughness. This process carefully controls the steel's properties, making it capable of withstanding extreme stress and temperature. Precision Machining: We employ state-of-the-art CNC machining centers to ensure that every rod meets our exacting tolerances. This means precise dimensions, perfect balance, and a flawless fit. We’re talking about tolerances measured in thousandths of an inch! Shot Peening: We subject our rods to shot peening, a process that creates compressive stresses on the surface, further increasing their fatigue resistance and preventing cracking. It’s like giving the metal an extra layer of armor. Lightweight Design: We understand that weight is critical for performance. Our rods are designed to be lightweight without sacrificing strength. This allows for quicker engine response and improved acceleration. Multiple Sizes Available: We offer a wide range of sizes to fit various Kawasaki models, including (but not limited to): Kawasaki Ninja 250R/300R Kawasaki Z900/Z1000 Kawasaki KX250F/KX450F Kawasaki Mule/Teryx And many more!

REDMOND SWIMMING LLC started out specializing in the design and manufacture of high-performance swimming gear – think streamlined racing suits and advanced training aids. What does that have to do with engine parts? It's all about precision engineering, materials science, and a commitment to quality. We quickly developed a reputation for our ability to work with advanced materials and manufacturing processes. We realized that those same skills could be applied to other industries, and we started working with enthusiasts and engine builders to develop high-performance connecting rods. It was a natural extension of our expertise. We’ve built a team of experienced engineers and machinists who are passionate about both swimming and motorsports. We’re committed to providing our customers with the best possible products and service. We don’t just sell parts; we build relationships. Looking Ahead We’re constantly working to improve our products and expand our range. We’re currently developing new connecting rod designs for other motorcycle and ATV brands. We’re also exploring the use of even more advanced materials and manufacturing processes. We're committed to staying at the forefront of engine technology and providing our customers with the performance and reliability they demand. Ready to Upgrade?
