Zombie thread revival!
I wish to replace the five roller bearings in the linkage, I've got slight play in one of the three pivots and figure I might as well refresh the whole linkage. Does anyone know the code for the bearing marked in the parts diagram as BEARING-NEEDLE,BM202715 please?
I'd like to get all five from a bearing factors rather than pay the £75 KHI will want for them.
Thank you

Re: Triarm bearings
I've just replaced all of mine with Kawasaki OEM bearings.
From memory I measured the sizes and checked a few bearing suppliers, but there was no real price difference, and as I was doing all of the suspension parts I just went with OEM...and a £300 bill...
You can also look on eBay for NOS listings, remember as well that you might need to change your grease seals and internal tubes too...

Re: Triarm bearings
You're probably right, I'm just being a wee bit of a cheapskate. Still, if it's a standard bearing a quality one could be about £7 which makes the job half price on that front...
I'll keep looking but suspect I'll end up at the Kawasaki parts desk...
