The K5's went to a newer hub in, I believe, '97. Yours has 1 bearing on each side and the newer versions had 2 bearings on the sprocket side. I would either get a newer version OEM hub or a Talon brand hub. Bearing and/or hub failures on the earlier 500's weren't too uncommon from what I understand. :-o

I don't think talon offers a hub for the 91 kx500. their hubs the offer for the kx500 start in 94. So i wonder if i could use a 94 kx500 talon hub? they haven't answered emails and i called their U.S. suppliers and got hung up on :s I just want to get my dang bike fixed so i can ride.

It will work, I'm running a 90 500 hub on a 01 250.

I think the 94 hub is the year kx came with double bearings on both sides of the hub.

Hi everyone
Let me add to the discussion about rear wheels.  kawasaki part # 41034-1205 is the older 2 bearing hub.  This hub was used on:

1990-1994 KDX200
1990-1994 KX 125
1990-1994 KX 250
1990-1996 KX 500

kawasaki part #41034-1270 is the newer 3 bearing hub.  This hub was used on:

1997-1998 KX 125
1997-1998 KX 250
1997-1998 KX 500

everything listed should be interchangeable.  I got this info from Kawasaki.com in the parts diagrams.  Use spacers that are correct for your year of bike.  Their may be a minor difference in rear brake disc diameter but I have yet to research this out.  But all in all these (rear wheel) years should interchange.  Spoke kits are available from www.buchananspokes.com and www.rkexcelamerica.com.  Hope this helps everyone

I'm sorry it was a three bearing wheel. Its a long time sence I had that problem.


My 90 model only had one on each side.
