Hi every one i am looking for a little bit of information as i own a zxr400 l2? (1992) i am about to change the swing arm after i have painted my spare one can any one tellme how many bearings are in the swing arm as my manual says one but i dont understand why there would be only one as its got two sides just like a wheel??
Thanks Jamie

Hey there. There is one ball-bearing type bearing on the left of the swing arm and needle-type bearings located in the shaft of the swing-arm. I can't remember how many but I do know their abit of a nightmare to get out (The needle type not the ball-bearing, it just comes out with circlip removed and a hammer)
