Does anybody have any swing arm bearing and seal numbers.... after market where we can get these from a bearing and seal supplier or parts house, i trashed mine today I got rained out at the local drag races again! 3 weeks in a row! and got fustrated and ended up at the indiana badlands,( crazy idiot I went with found the biggest mud hoe in the place 5 minutes in) Runnin like a banhee with a banshee in the woops leg braces and all and boys it sounded like a 22 rifle went off and you could feel it imediately I have heard the story of the clicking noise getting progressivly worse and i have checked this on a before takeoff basis.... and no problem ! this baby let loose like a gun shot sounds I was hanging over the side one legging it... bars cocked before it landed last chance or roll it... and bang..... go to the truck, hope i can walk tommorry... thanks again . i just hate that four day wait for a good deal on parts thanks again J.H.

 

Sorry I didnot mention on my first post... I looked in search before posting the first time and found the bearing No# but no seal or race, or is a compatable bearing race o.d one size ? appreciate any info , I think ill plug that tube with drive in freeze plug or weld a round in like that one fellow did and posted here and makem greaseable I did not like the feeling of that when that thing let loose all at once!!!!! kinda scared me. And I was getting focused for the big pass.. On the way limping back to the truck I witnessed a up hill drag race in loose stuff> Probably a 40 degree incline 100 ft tall hill 100ft run ...12 of these guys haveing a ball!!!! This is what i witnessed >> after sitting and watching smokin a cigar.... multiple runs .1st.YFZ450.. 2nd400ex.. 3rd a blue twinpeaks650.. (WOODY) it was stock..4th Vforce with a huge man on it.....5th on.. a mix of everything... they sure had a good time.and this happened every run it was hillaryious thanks again. J.H.

 

its funny I get an occasional click from under the backend somewhere but I cant recreate it and its only intermitant...but the backend feels good and tight..no wobbble or anything that might indicate the bearings are going out....did you have anything like that or did they just let go at once?..Im wondering why mine would "give me warning" doesnt sound like there modus operandi...

 

No warning what so ever I will have to blame some of this on drag racing because of the wheelie bar on the hitch reciever 3500 miles on this bike too but when it happened I was doing some air time and came down alittle crossed up and BANG then it got washy and plenty noisey If you even question these are makeing noise change them cause it will let you down sooner or later and ruin your days ride this is a flawed design on kawies part according to these guys on here.J.H.

 

Please disregard looking up part numbers I went to nyrocs site and he saved us again I should have thought of that the first time Thanks J.H.

 

Talk to the folks at www.allballsracing.com they have the bearings cheap. They also crossreferenced the seals for me and gave me seals that worked perfect.

Also, look at my tech tip for swingarm bearing mods. There are 3 different options to fix the bearing design flaw. The best of which, is from masterblaster (the nyroc one is affective and easy to do, I might add). Check it out.

 

Thank ye NYROC! will do. J.H.
