Hey gents,
Will the swing arm off a an F series work on an E series ?
If so, any appreciable differences ??

CMSNL is always your friend in situations like this - I just had a look at the 2001 E2 and 2002 F1 parts fiche for the ZX9R - looks like the swingarm and associated parts are identical between the 2 models
the part numbers are all the same and in the diagrams, looks like no appreciable differences ?

Thanks Gos.
Since Kawasaki found it so necessary to upgrade the rear swing arm on the F, was this solely for the purposes of cosmetics or does it actually improve handling ??

The swing arm on the F is pretty obvious.
Did the bracing actually help with handling or is it just a toss ?

So those of you who owned and tortured an E and then ridden and tortured an F, is the rear swing arm upgrade any better ?
Like in my previous post, was it a toss factor to have the bracing ? Was it even necessary to have this. I mean, gee, this bike has come a long way from the B1 and from all the literature indicates that Kwaka seemed to have finally sorted all those handling gremlims with the E. Was the F that much better that it needed a racey looking swing arm ?
Will an F rear swing arm fit an E series ?
