This is important when ordering parts in the states. Since so many people familiar with these MZ Baghira's say on a 686 big bore I should install a stronger rod I started shopping and they have different part numbers for 01 and 02 Raptor parts. I would guess Yamaha sold MZ the 01model for the 02 year MZ Baghira. Weisco is telling me he does not think I need to change the rod if I just put a 686 big bore. He does sell rods so it is easy for him to say "you do need the heavy duty rod"and make another sale. On the other hand people who sell rods will naturally tell you that you need the heavier rod since that is their business. Bottom line is how safe will you feel riding on the stock rod and not know how long it will hold up.MZ could have made this alot easier if their motor bottom end was the same as the bottom end of the raptor. The top end is the same so why not the bottom end.

the clutch lever on the rt125 and saxon tour are the same for each bike

Jamboa,
I think it may be important to remember the xtz660 motor was around prior to the Raptor..so,did Yamaha use the older head, and cylinder
on the "new" bottom end? Mz sourced these from Yamaha to my knowledge. If in doubt,you could contact Barkers Bars for their rod..

You broke two stock rods in a stock 660 motor?

Yes, I bought both bikes new, changed the oil every 3000 miles. After the Baghira was broke in, I ran it exclusively on full synthetic oil. The only mods to the bikes were Keihin flatslide carbs and a M4 can.
I am kind of hard on bikes, the MZs outlasted the other bikes I have owned by far. If I stare at a Harley Davidson long enough, parts will start falling off of it

I didnt think you even had to look at a Harley for that to happen.
