Hi everyone
Great to see the forum back on line.
I have a Yamaha KT135 rotary engine & I am informed that the conrods are fragile.
My engine runs fine but I want to replace the rod before I run it to much.
Any info or parts would be appreciated.
Thanks
Bob

Hi Jerry
It is a KT135cc rotary & it would be strange if a 100cc KT100AX rotary rod fitted.
Do you know for sure that a KT100AX rod will fit?
I have talked about my motor before on this forum & the reaction was they did not know a Yamaha 135cc rotary existed.

Hi Chuck
Rest assured this is a Yamaha 135cc they ran them over here in Australia & I know a couple of other guys that have them.
I tried to upload some pics but they were too big, send me your email address & I will send you some pics.
They are nothing like a KT100.

bob, i'm not saying i doubt you. i'm just saying lynn would have a lot of information about it. if anybody would know he would. he sells on ebay under the name choo---choo (that's 3 dashes inbetween). ask him a question thru one of his listings. ask him if he uses the same rod.
