in need of some new bearings - front wheel, rear wheel and head stock (upper and lower) im struggling to identify which part numbers are which - i cant read japanese to confirm the items! also can anyone recommend a site/place to get the bearings from?
also with the wheels do you need to replace the seals? if so where can i get these seals from as ebay isn't helping!

The best place to buy kawasaki parts is a kawasaki dealer
Why is that such a hard concept for people to grasp ??
You dont need part numbers and many of the part numbers in the micro fiche is out of date and changed
All you need is the model..............and then lift a telephone and call the best kawasaki dealer in the UK
Cradley................their phone number is plastered all over this website/forum

Well Cargo, I disagree with you.
I never bought bearing from any bike dealership - I went directly to a bearing supplier (find them in your Yellow pages )
Go in with the codes and they will let you know what you can get with what they supply , some do Koyo others KTN? ( Swedish company) but there are now plenty good makers of bearings.
Failing that take the outer cup size , cup height and the inner spindle size and they can pull it off a chart - most also supply the oil/dust seals too.
FYI, headrace bearings , front bearings with one dust seal , rear with one dust seal no sprocket hub: 11,500 Yen + shipping
But really, look at your Yellow pages and go along to an industrial supplier - they will be about 45% cheaper.
MM!
