PROX Swingarm Bearing Kit for KAWASAKI KX 250, KXF 250, KXF 450 2017-2026

On KAWASAKI KX 250, KXF 250, KXF 450 from 2017 to 2026, the PROX 26.210217 swingarm bearing kit fits in place of the original part. The swingarm pivots on its shaft on every movement of the rear suspension. Its bearings, often needle bearings, wear from water and mud: a swingarm pivot that binds or has play makes the rear end vague and wears out the drivetrain.

When to replace it?

• Side play at the rear when you shake the wheel from left to right.

3. Press in the new ones, straight, with the seals and sleeves packed with waterproof grease.
