About to put in some new front bearings. Seems that the balls were done. I guess I have to pound out the old ones? They seem really stuck in there.

It might also help to soak the joint between the wheel and outer bearing race with Kroil for a couple days to break any corrosion. Ed

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationNo eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationPer kawasaki.com --
Part No. 92033-1040
Kawasaki calls it a Snap Ring, 43.5 mm, used on 150 Kawasaki models.
Supposedly an "active" part that's still available at Kawasaki dealerships

Pics can be seen on ebay listings:






Other aftermarket sources include:
www.partzilla.com/parts/detail/kawasaki/KP-92033-1040.html
www.nwvintagecycleparts.com/search-resul...=92033-1040&st=spart

Watch out for needlessly high shipping charges.
The usually higher dealership price may favorably compare in this instance because of others' shipping charges.

Good Fortune! :)

Perhaps not using a genuine Kawasaki Service Manual for the model at hand.

May help to view the diagram at kawaski.com which does include the clip.

Lots of good info on kawasaki.com, including parts diagrams, part names, part numbers, models sharing same part, availability, etc. Here's a link for help with navigating the site and finding information.

are you talking about the steering head bearings? They can be kinda hard to get out but don't be afraid to get tough on them. The race on the stem is the worst one IMO.

A long piece of rod and a hammer is the best way I know to do it. :)

Ya doctoRot. How did you get the race off the stem? The ones in the frame are easy enough. But its really stuck on there...
