Just a mess in the rear hub was created by mzandmz
The Bike I bought recently needed new tires due to severe weather cheking.(Tires were Like new,Just sat to long)So I went to replace the rear tire began to remove the brake side and there laying inside laid the linings that were detatched from the shoes.Rusted drum,took an hour to polish it back to a useable surface.Ordered a set of shoes from Z1, cant wait to try out the new tires. What a mess,got it all cleaned up. The bearings are real good. People shouldn't let their Kawasaki set.

did you repack the bearings while you were in there?
