Needle bearing

#1 PostAuthor: gberlo » Sat May 30, 2015 10:41 am

Hi,

I'am from Holland and I looking after the needle bearings used in cam chain sprocket (Idler assy). Those anyone know where I can buy these bearings or perhaps an alternative for this problem.

Thanks a lot.

Hannik.

For some strange reason Kawasaki used imperial bearings for the idlers.
I get them from Simply Bearings - Part number BA78ZOH.

Without trying to tell you how to suck eggs!.... I presume you are replacing the mount for these needle bearings fit into, as I find it's the rubber mount that tears away and need replacing with a solid piece, then fitting the bearings!

I'm sure you will be aware that simple replacing the needle rollers will not fix the problem.
As others have said.. those bearing are available at most bearing suppliers.
