The parts diagrams at Kawasaki.com or Partzilla will have the bearing sizes.
chain drive models have 1 large & 2 smaller bearings at the rear wheel, but instead of the large one, the shaft drive models have a needle bearing at the final drive --- you'll need to reference the manual about it.
there are oil seals you'd probably want to replace. All-Balls bearing kits have the seals. I

All Ball's bearing kits come with everything you need and cost less than purchasing the bearings separate. They also come with the appropriate type of grease. Downside is they are generic Chinese bearings. Most bearing failures are related to the grease drying out or water entry anyway so no worry.

All Ball kits are CHINESE? :ohmy: I guess I'll have to rekindle my relationship with my Kaman bearing guy. I don't want Bossie to suffer the same fate as the helicopter falling out of the air syndrome due to inferior bearings. :whistle:

I paid $25 for rear bearing kit. Bearing are from $2 and up shipped from ebay.
Seals are not very important because bearings are sealed.
