Fork Rebuild

Ah HA!

What we need is made by Oilite ! And it's made out of... Oilite!

I'll go out to the shop tomorrow and take some precise measurements...

No dice, but I'd love to get a set of their Gold Valve Emulators!

Get all of the information together (tube OD, lower bushing thickness, and length) and give RaceTech a call. They have bushings for lots of bikes that arnt on their applications lists. The emulators do work, I've installed a few sets over the years.

What you need are outer fork bushings that are 36 x 12 x 2 mm. Race Tech doesn't carry them and you will not find a Kawasaki OEM part. You can find bushings for the cop bikes, but they have 38mm forks. If you have a KZ or Z bike with 36mm forks you need to call Moto Pro suspension in Woodinville, WA. Part number is MBO36122. I just installed them on my KZ 1000 and they work perfectly. Pass it on!

I am in the same situation now. A little confused as to which is which.
At buykawasaki.com you can buy the inner bushings? Part number 44065-1016, am i right? Hope so, just ordered them!
But the outers came on the pipe-fork inner (was part 44013-1085) which is now unavailable?
So I need 36 x 12 x 2 mm bushings. Any idea where to get these in the UK?

Part number 44065-1016 is listed as Active at Kawasaki.com & the cross-reference there shows that it's used on some late model bikes, so yer probably good to go.

Interesting that this was only used on forks with air valves. Ed

Aye I have ordered that part. What I mean is if I also need to replace the lower bushing do I need to source one as described by cometic?
