Bearings

1. Does anybody happen to know the size of bearing required for the
front wheel of a ZX-9R E2?

(Yes, I know I could pull them out and measure them, but I'm about to
stuff my face full of pizza and I'll probably be too full for faffing
about in the garage later.)

2. Can anybody recommend an online bearing supplier? I'd normally go out
and buy them, but I haven't got time to do that during the day.

 

BEARING-BALL,#6005UU according to the online fiche at

You could try here http://www.bslbrammer.co.uk/bearings.html but you'll
need part number and/or size details.

 

D'Oh! Of course. I've even got a copy of the parts fiche here, but just
assumed that they'd only give the Kawasaki part number so didn't bother
looking.

UU? Eurgh!

 

Kawasaki bearing part numbers have always included the bearing id number
(well for as long as I'd been involved with them [1])

[1] since 1979

 

BSL - total load of wankers in my past experience

you could try mercury bearings 020 8805 1919

I don't know whether they have a website, but their prices are good and
they're efficient

They're in Enfield

Panic over, I've ordered some.

Not quite as cheap as the cheapest I found on eBay, but I'm more sure of
their quality.

 

don't forget you'll need new seals too. I bought bearings and seals
last week. now all I need is a man to fit them. if himself didn't
bugger off to the isle of man for the weekend I might have a working
bike. not that its much use to me in Dublin.

Last time I was on the top floor, I got some great pics of Guinness froth
blasting out of the top of the fermentation vat chimneys and wafting across
the city

 

Oh, bugger. I'd have remembered them, if I'd only made the effort to
take the old bearings out last night. Nuts.

What are the chances of my friendly local Kawasaki dealer having some in
stock? And what are the chances of me having time to get over there
during working hours? Feck.

So, can anybody recommend a Kawasaki parts supplier who does reliable
next-day delivery?

I'm sure you could find a willing volunteer to assist you in his absence.

It's a tough life, isn't it?

 

Curse this damned metalwork stopping me flying.

Did Greg get incredibly pissed, or just absolutely slaughtered?

I think Sunday was Gregs worst night as he didn't appear til lunchtime
Monday. needless to say last night was quieter for him.
