The world of wheel bearings is a fickle one. In the Kawasaki world people were always looking for a quality wheel bearing because the OEs were over 60 bucks each now and all the aftermarket replacements were less then 30 and 20 in most cases. But..the OEs were lasting many thousands of miles and most of the aftermarkets ever made it a thousand..most less then 500. One thing I did notice was that no one just took theirs down to the bearing house and matched them up with a National/Timken bearing. I have a National Bearing supply here as well as one other bearing house I will be visiting when..or if the time comes.

REDRIDER- Good luck with the new bearings. Let us know how they work out. Have to be better then the OEs :)
513022 crosses to national bearings at advanced auto, They had one is stock. It was $60 and when I looked at it, it wasn't sealed. Sent it back to the shelf. Now when I bought the driveworks one from them it was $20, and sealed but I had to order it online and picked it up in store. Asked the young lady if they had any others, as I could see the page of bearings could be scrolled down, she said nope that's all we carry.

Wheel bearing greaser for the Z-force should be 30mm, correct?  I see there are a number of different styles, anybody have any recommendations?
