Swingarm bearing kit for a 78 kz1000 A2A was created by bluej58
I just realized I need to get a new set , the last ones lasted 60,000 but it's time, I see that Z1 has 1 that is for the kz900 that looks like the 4- bearing setup that I have but it's not in stock.

Anyone know a source for these? or know of an alternate setup that will work?

Update; I read the instructions on the Z1E page and it says to torque the pivot bolt nut to ( 22-28 foot lbs) so I checked mine and it was majorly loose, I torqued it down to 25 ft lbs and the lateral play disappeared, hallelujah !!!!
I probably have not checked it in 6 years, so folks check your swingarms....

I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.
