Hi, new here but i was wondering if anyone could help me out. I am going through a 1984 kx 250 and need some help. the rear break drum backing plate has a roller bearing pressed in it,Part # 92046. No longer available by Kawasaki. The bearing is trashed and needs replacing but i have no idea where to source one. any help appreciated. Thanks... Kevin

Thanks for the help passngas. Yes bernie, i got it off madison craigslist a few months back. It did run but not well. the case halves were leaking below the crank. I am just looking to make it mechanically sound right now.

Kawasaki F-ed up their parts diagrams, but I found it looking up another model. On the Kawasaki site, a lot of times they list the bearing number or sometimes measurements in the part description. In your case, that bearing equivelates to a HK 1216LL bearing.

If you can't find NOS on Ebay, looking up by measurements or bearing mfr part number usually works.

Thanks Kidkawie, I was able to secure one from e-bay. I have another question though, the stinger end of my pipe has a lazy curve to it. I assume its supposed to be straight?
