KAWASAKI 636 (03-04) REAR WHEEL SWAP :
SWINGARM SWAP :
It is very simple, all you have to do it take out the rubber seal on the right side of the 05 swingarm and swap it for the one from the 03/04....That will allow you to use the threaded adjuster nut from 03/04 swingarm, so swap the seal use the 03/04 adjsuter nut and piviot shaft. Bolts right up.
YOU MUST ALSO REMEBER! That if your using the 05+ swingarm then you need to make sure the cush drive spacer on the left side must also be 05+. The cush itself is the same but those spacers are difernt widths, so if you use the 03/04 spacer with a 05+ swingarm your chain will be out of alignment. And vise versa
Then comes the shock! If you use the 03/04 stock and linkages then nothing needs to be done, however if you want to use the 03/04 knuckle with the 05 shock you need to swap the bottom(where the bottom shock mount bolt goes) 2 seals and bushing from the 05 knuckle into the 03/04 linkage. Because the 05 shock eyelet on the bottom is a little narrower, so for it to fit those need to be swapped. The knuckle and its roller bearings are the same but the 2 seals and bushing are differnt widths...If you have the 05 knuckle then it will all bolt right up. Also do not use the 05 upper mount (the steel part that mounts the shock to the frame, 05 is dark colour and 03/04 is silver, use the 03/04 on the 03/04 frame no matter what shock you use)
