If currently enjoying lots of riding in the twisties, would consider that while lengthening the swing arm usually enhances the riding-straight-ahead stability of the bike, it reduces the cornering ability and ease of cornering.kzrider77 wrote: ...I ride a 77 Kz 1000 A1, I bought($1500) this past Nov and can't stay off. I haven't done anything yet. Plans for custom swing, and some motor mods.
For example, dedicated drag bikes may use lengthened swing arms to enhance stability at straight line speed, and reduce tendency to wheelie, but they can't corner worth a flip.
Good Fortune!

But that seems like a really nice rider. It is a slippery slope when the mods begin!

Listed on kawasaki.com as "guide screw," but rarely hear it called that.
The kawasaki.com site includes parts diagrams, part names, part numbers, models sharing same part, availability, etc. Here's a link for help with navigating the site and finding information.
