U- joint
, I've got a vibration in my bike lately that increases with speed by 95 mph it's a pretty good shake. I've never put one in it with 83k on the clock so along with the usual suspects( tires and bearings) I'm going to go ahead and change that u joint out. It's seen a pretty rough life, I'm one of those guys, I'm rough on my stuff but I'm paying the bill so...... my question is have any of you all bought the 15.95 joint off of eBay instead of the $108 one from Ron Ayers and what kind of luck did you have?

You can use the u-joint from a Kawasaki Prairie 400 ATV. The oem part number is
49050-1002. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kawasaki-Pra...FZOr1W&vxp=mtr

Ive bought a couple from Rocky Mountain, (I think thats the name for about $30.00 CDN and they have worked out well.
Change it before it brakes and destroys the driveshaft like my last one did.

Thanks, those were the ones I'm looking at . Get them on the way and change them before leaving out.

I know I'm quoting myself but I talk to myself too so it's no biggie The ujoint I ordered from Wisconsin on Tuesday was in my mailbox today ! Apparently they have faster pack mules in Wisconsins postal service than we do in KY

Makes em slick
Today was the second Monday this week. I got started on the Kaw at the crack of 9. Tore it all down and by the time I got those inside clips off those little ujoint cups was already plum fuzzed up. Good news I did find my problem, the ujoin,t was needing replacing one cup and bearings were black with the grease burned up in place and you could see the pattern of the little needle bearings on the cross. The whole thing was not in good shape and the grease was drying out. Got it out and all cleaned up . Opened up my package and the UJoint was 2mm too small on the cup size and a couple or three mm too narrow, the search was on for one in eastern Ky, I went to four dealerships of every brand that I knew that sold ATVs of any type trying to match one up. Struck out I did however go to a truck and tractor bearing and driveline sales place that didn't have it either but the counter guy miked it and got online and found the one I needed on Amazon for 25 bucks with Monday being when it would arrive to me, quickest time so far except the one from Wisconsin that is wrong, don't even know if they accept returns . At this point I'm past caring. The game is under rain delay till Monday. Give me time to clean and grease the needle bearings, and check out the front end while I'm waiting. Hurry up and wait I guess. Later, I'll be ready to take a decent ride when this is over.

If it doesn't work out Monday, call or text me.
I think I have a slightly used one already in a 1500 drive shaft I can overnight to you. Or I can bring it to Maggie and we can put it in Thursday.

Kawaski UK price.http://www.kawasakioriginalparts.com...ber=49050-1002
Not as cheap,but by the time the import duty,shipping,and taxes are added on.Its not worth UK buyers farting about.And if they send the wrong part,the bike will be off the road for weeks,if not months.

Their online catalog lists it for 20 bucks and change. However, I didn't see any facility on their site to order online. I found a local dealer (easily done via Tucker's find-a-dealer link) and got it ordered up for 23 bucks and change. Here is a link to their online catalog: http://online.fliphtml5.com/lxnd/mxjn/#p=735 To Tucker's Home page: https://tucker.com This thread is the most recent thread with a title of Ujoint so I figured if a thread needed resurrected, it is this one.
