[QUOTE="slcyclerace, post: 273721, member: 28333"] Hmmmm, indeed!! I just tore my swingarm and linkage off (it had to be done anyway) and yes, it does have caged bearings for the swingarm only. The bottom link pivot on the swingarm is full needle as is all of the linkage.I also checked a 99 YZ125 that happened to be in my shop and it's the same deal. It stands to reason that Full Compliment Units are able to carry a heavier load than cages since there is more bearing surface to carry the weight. Instead of the non bearing cage part there is an extra needle for every regular needle to spread the weight around. I was turned on to Pivot Works by Eric Gorr and, who am I to question the wisdom of Mr. Gorr??? Check out the Pivot Works website for yourself. What company other than OEM does make a good caged bearing kit for the KDX? Sorry but I can't answer that one.The following is a FAQ from the Pivot Works website. Q) Are Pivot Works Bearing Kits as good as the OEM? A) Yes. In ALL applications, these kits meet OEM standards for quality, durability, and fit. In most cases, these kits are of a higher standard. Where the OEM may use caged needle bearings, in most applications Pivot Works kits use Full Compliment bearings which are known to wear better, spread the load better, and function better. Our wheel bearings use a double sealed design where as the OEM may be a single sealed bearing. [/QUOTE]
