LOST! swing arm ajuster plate

[Deleted]

Hi guys,

got a problem went for a ride yesterday and when i got back I noticed that the end of the swing arm looked diferent!
On closer inspection I saw that the chain ajuster nut washer and Back plate were all missing!
I think the nut must have vibrated loose

I had a look at the other ajuster and undid it and found there was next to no torque on it and it just span off very easily so iam not surprised the other side came off! you would have though the nut would be held on by a spring washer or some similar locking device!
So I need to get a nother one from some where probably Kawasaki.
Unless there is someone on here with a spare one the don't want

there should be 2 x nuts on the aduster supposed to lock against each other

Not on mine there isn't! I wonder if they were removed when it was serviced? Can't think why they would want to

Gotta say that the whole swing arm on the bike is very cheap and nasty compared to my old Z1000. I know it is build down to a pice but the street triple has a nice alloy one and that even cheaper!

Hi Mate

you just need a couple of Stainless Steel M8 Nylok nuts mate.

and obviously a new adjuster end plate

I would say the second locking nuts where not fitted on the pdi

which means you might be able to complain at the dealers and i would think they will sort it out ASAP if thay are a decent bunch.

if they don't just don't buy a bike off them next time

Regards
Rick
