Jake, Several 2008 owners have reported this. You can get the parts diagram on www.buykawasaki.com click on owner info on the left, then follow the menus. You can enter the complete part number into the part wizard on bike bandit, and then get the price. The complete number is usually 5 numbers, a dash, and then 4 numbers - but not always..... To get the complete number you have to look up the number in the exploded view, or schematic view, and then go down to the parts list below to get the complete number. Not everyone knows this, hope it's not too repetitive..... all the best, Mike

For bearing installation. Chance of adhesion very low. ED
