[QUOTE="'00kx250spode, post: 166882, member: 20287"] Okay, I misled you that this problem was worked out. :o Actually, I was able to get one of the bearings in okay (having the sleeve inserted) but when I put the other bearing in (which was on order) I had the same problem. So I bought a new set of bearings and took it a local shop and had them press them in. They had the same result and they think that the hole isn't straight - therefore when the 2 bearings are pressed in they're at a bit of an angle and the sleeve won't go in. When I originally removed the rocker arm, the sleeve in that hole was seized and I had to knock it out. Now I realize that this rocker arm has always had this problem and whoever put the bike together must have forced the sleeve in. That really pisses me off at Kawasaki! :think The shop said that it probably isn't a big deal because the rocker arm moves very little on the frame - but I've gone to alot of trouble (and expense!) to be back where I started. Any suggestions on how to proceed? I was going to buy a new rocker arm - with the bearings already pressed in - from Pro Circuit but they've redone their website and the product is no longer listed. When I called, the dumbass who answered the phone didn't even know what a rocker arm is (thought it was a triple clamp!) and said they didn't carry it. I saw the post on the ZipTyRacing rocker arm but I'm a bit confused because it doesn't show a bearing in the spot that holds the bottom of the shock and my OEM rocker arm has a bearing in all 3 holes. Plus, when I proceed to order it - it doesn't ask what make/model of bike I have. It isn't a 1-size-fits-all is it? Any comments are appreciated. I want to put my bike together and ride! [/QUOTE]
