Points to note;-

1. The ZZR swingarm pivot is 16mm, KR-1S is 20mm, solution, is a piece of od20/id16 stainless steel pipe cut to length to suit.

2. The KR-1S swingarm has sufficient room for 4x neddle roller bearings, but only 2 are fited as standard. I used 4 works a treat should last longer than the bike.
In the Ninja600R swap I just used the ZZR pivot rod and one of the 600R pivot rods in the bell crank. I tapped the bearings in about 2mm and ground off about 1.5mm in width. I do think the PO may have already narrowed it to fit an EX500 frame though. We got two 600R swingarms in the EX500 pile of parts we bought so we will stick with that.
However, we won't put one on this bike as the stock swingarm must be retained in LWSS250 Class.
