Doing a little plotting and planning for future mods, just wondering if anyone here has had reason to remove the swingarm from their 06-07. My question relates to the materials used for the spacers and the internal pivot sleeve : can anyone tell me please, are these all ally, or are some of them steel ?
Judging by the wheels, I’d expect the spacers to be ally, but then again wheels are unsprung so there may well have been a conscious decision by Mr K to reduce weight in those areas.
Even the 96+ ZX7R / RR used an ally sleeve for the swingarm pivot, but Kawasaki may have chosen to change the material to steel for our beloved 10s.
Thanks in advance,
Brian
