'90 swing arm same as a '92?
« on: December 15, 2015, 08:11:30 AM »
Ive been told yes and ive been told no! Someone says the 90 runs a different rear caliper to the 92. Mine is a 92 but been offered a brand new 90 swinger. Any help/advice mucho appreciated!

Kawasaki parts numbers and interchange are as follows:
SWING ARM
FITS 90 KX500 - 33001-1347-CE
FITS 91-93 KX500 - 33001-1371-CE

REAR BRAKE CALIPER MOUNT
FITS 90-93 KX125 KX250, 90-91 KX500 - 43044-1092
FITS 92-95 KX500, 94 KX125 KX250 - 43044-1111

REAR BRAKE CALIPER
FITS 89-90 KX125 KX250 KX500 - 43041-1286
FITS 92-93 KX125 KX250 KX500 - 43041-1482

I am running a 02 kx500 swing arm (96-02 KX500 - 33001-1496-TX) on my 88 kx500 frame, however, I also needed the rear brake caliper (95-96 KX125 KX250, 96-03 KX500, 96 KLX650R, 97-03 KLX300R - 43041-1577) and mount (95-96 KX125 KX250, 96-04 KX500, 96 KLX650R, 97-07 KLX300R - 14079-1105), as well as the shock linkage from 90-04.

So can the 90 swing arm fit your 92 frame? Sure, but you will need the brake mount (90-93 KX125 KX250, 90-91 KX500 - 43044-1092) and caliper (89-90 KX125 KX250 KX500 - 43041-1286).

Thank you for that info! Its probably not worth bothering with if im to start sourcing other parts. Ill have to try find me a 92 clean swinger and have it restored i guess

It's no that difficult I've bought a 98'swing arm a full linkage and a Klx 300 brake caliper on eBay over the space of a couple of days for less than £200 not sure the dollar rate.
