According to Ma Kaw the KZ900-A5 Bushing, Swing Arm - Part #33033-009 is still an active (available) part. Looks like they run around $45 each. Ed

The bushings are available, but the sleeves are not. These are the part with the worm groove to hold grease. If you replace the bushings you also need to replace the sleeves. If not replace, at least manicure the old ones so they slide into the bushings.

321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.
