TWO vs FOUR Bearing Swingarm Kit Questions - And Extra Washers in Linkage Kit
Posted: 03:46 pm May 17 2019
Hey guys!
So over the winter i got all new bearings, seals, shafts etc...and over the course of a garage remodel ive LOST THE FREEKIN SWINGARM KIT! However it could have been worse if it was the linkage kit thats almost 2x as much as the swingarm kit
Anyways, 2-part question... Ive noticed some swingarm kits only come with TWO larger needle bearings for the swingarm kits (one for each side, but still with the stock 4x seals and 2x shafts) and other sets come with FOUR needle bearings like what the stock OEM setup is shipped like.
For reference see the two kits below:
2-Bearing pivot works kit #PWSAK-K11-020
4-Bearing All Balls Kit #28-1064
Has anyone had any experience with the 2-bearing kits? I tend to go back to stock in cases like these, but noticed a few other kits doing the same thing so wonder if thats a 'upgrade' of sorts using the single bearing in each side.
The other part of the question is for the Linkage Bearing Kit.... which came with 4x washers that i have no clue what they are for. I checked over the OEM parse diagram and dont see any washers in there, yet most of the kits come with the 4x washers for the linkage rebuild kits
For Reference see the below All Balls Kit
All Balls Swingarm Linkage Kit #27-1036
Kit Contents In question: Washer x4
I think they are just extra that are used maybe on other models that my 2002 KDX200-H8 is not used... but figured i would pop the question and see if anyone else came across this.
THanks!!
