PIVOT WORKS Swingarm Bearing Kit for KAWASAKI KDX 200, KDX 220 1995-2006

On KAWASAKI KDX 200, KDX 220 from 1995 to 2006, the PIVOT WORKS PWSAKK11020 swingarm bearing kit fits in place of the original part. The swingarm pivots on the frame on its bearings. A pivot with play makes the rear vague and runs the chain out of line: this kit rebuilds the swingarm pivot.

Specifications

• Brand: PIVOT WORKS
• Manufacturer part number: PWSAKK11020

When to replace it?

• Play when you lift the rear wheel, bike on a stand.
• Suspension that creaks, sticks or reacts less well over small bumps.
• Rusty needles, torn seals or marked bushings on teardown.

Your bike's service manual gives the exact interval. As a Cross-Mania guideline: strip, clean and grease every 20 to 30 hours of racing or after very muddy rides, once a season for leisure riding; replace as soon as play or a tight spot appears.

Fitting tips

1. Note the position of each part as you strip it, side by side.
2. Press the needle bearings out, or use a suitable puller, without making the bores oval.
3. Press the new bearings in squarely, to the same depth as the old ones.
4. Pack bearings, bushings and seal lips with grease before reassembly.
5. Tighten the bolts to the manufacturer's torque and check that the suspension moves freely, without play.
