SHOP SWINGARMS & SWINGARM PARTS

Keep your rear end tight and predictable. We stock genuine OEM swingarm parts, including swingarm pivot oil seals for Kawasaki models such as the GPZ900R, GPX750R, GPX600R, KR-1, ZR550 and VN1500. Worn pivot seals let water and dirt into the bearings, which leads to play and vague handling.

With the swingarm out, it's a good time to check the chain and sprockets, so read when to replace your chain and sprockets. The chain guard mounts to the swingarm too. For the front end, see our front forks, or browse all our suspension parts.

FAQ – Swingarms & Swingarm Parts

How do I check my swingarm bearings?

With the rear wheel off the ground, grab the rear of the swingarm and try to move it side to side. Any play or clunk means the bearings or bushes need attention.

Should I replace the seals when greasing swingarm bearings?

Yes, if they're cracked, hard or torn. New seals keep fresh grease in and water out.

Can a bent swingarm be straightened?

It's not recommended for safety reasons. A bent swingarm affects wheel alignment and handling, so replacement is the safer option.

How often should swingarm bearings be greased?

Check your service manual, but many bikes benefit from cleaning and greasing every couple of years or more often if you ride in the wet.
