Title: Suspension lower "rocker" linkage
Post by: PCguru on May 22, 2018, 11:59:50 AM
Hi folks,

Bike passed it's MoT the other day, needed rear wheel bearings and a new rear disc, but not bad for an 09 with 74K on the clock.

Tester said the lower suspension linkage bearings had a little bit of play in them and I've been searching for a kit that contains the 3 x Needle rollers required. Can't find one, though the individual bearings are available.

I've seen a complete linkage on Ebay from a 2016 ZZR which (on first glance) looks identical.

Can anyone tell me if these two parts are the same between the GTR and the ZZR?


Are brake discs etc also the same? Probably need fronts changing in the near future too....

I could really do with a list of what is the same & what isn't between the two derivatives - would make spares hunting far easier!

Many thanks,

The only sure way is to get the FULL part numbers for each model and compare the results.  The first 5 diigits are a sort of generic number.  its the last 4 that finally identify the parts

The shocks are different lengths so I would assume the rockers will have different ratios
