2001 ec200 Rod Bearing Kit

[mattholew]

I have seen posts stating that the CR250R Rod Kits will fit GG Bikes.

Can I get you guys to confirm that for my 2001 ec200, a 19XX-XX CR250R Rod Kit will fit my engine?

Well, Pro-X does not list the 200 on their site at all, so that is not a good sign.

The 200 has a shorter stroke. So the CR 250 rod won't work.

Any reason why you can't go with the Gas Gas rod?

No, i tried to call gofasters today to find out what one would cost, they didn't answer, but like most everything else with the gas gas name on it, i am afraid its gonna be expensive.

So i was just trying to find a cheaper more readily available route to the same goal.

I think an OEM is Vesrah??? Could be wrong.....someone will chime in if..... I'm out of whack!!

My parts manifest(07) lists the 200 and 250/300 as having the same part number for the rod kit, ME25612100, so my logic tells me that means their the same, thus if a CR rod fits the 250/300 then it will fit the 200 also.
I guess the different stroke must be in the crank not the rod.

The parts bbooklet that came with my 2001 lists a rod kit for a 200 but does not list one for a 250 or 300. Unless that means it shares the same one.

Its the same part number as you listed.

Man. This is an old thread and I'm not sure how I didn't see this. But I wanted to post my results. If I remember correctly I ended up using the CR250R rod and a Artic Cat or Polaris 200cc piston kit.

CR250 Rod kit definitely fit my 2001 200XC. Also I used a Wossner piston.
