Motorcycle Glossary Dictionary Term - Pushrods

Pushrods: Pushrods are used to connect to rocker arm assemblies which, in turn, open and close valves. In this case, the Camshaft is located near the crankshaft. The rotation of the camshaft causes its lobes to press upward on the Pushrods which extend to the top of the engine and connect to the rocker arms. Harley-Davidson motorcycles are heavy users of the pushrod method of valve operation.
