I haven't taken them apart yet to see if they need replaced but would really like to replace them with new ones regardless.
Anyone know where I could find these? or know of a cross reference that would work from another bike?
Thanks!
Claude
Ps.
Jeff, I didn't see them on your website... if you got 'em let me know.

Same with the swingarm bearings, used in everything that had shaft drive basically from 4 wheelers to the Concourse. Stock at any decent dealer. Now whether any dealers are "decent" is another story though. Part # 92116-1001 $23.54 each. Prices obtained from bikebandit.com which are normally Kawasaki list price. Dealers set their own prices, usually 10-20% over list.
321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

As mentioned, the steering bearings can be had from www.z1enterprises.com as they are cross referenced with a zillion bikes. The swingarm bearings are tapered needle bearings and getting the swingarms out is a chore to replace the bearings.

Thanks.
WG, did you replace the bearings in the swing arm? I was looking at my service manual last night... didn't look too bad. I plan on pulling the motor anyways.
