King Engine Bearings Kawasaki ZX-14 (2006-2011)/ZX-14R (2012-) (Size +0.25mm) Conrod Bearing Set

These King Engine Bearings conrod bearings are built with an XP high-performance overlay, a material known for its exceptional durability and resistance to wear, especially under the high-stress conditions found in performance motorcycle engines. This specific set is sized at +0.25mm, meaning it's designed to compensate for a slight increase in crankshaft journal diameter, often due to machining during an engine rebuild or to achieve a specific clearance. They are intended for Kawasaki ZX-14 models from 2006-2011 and the ZX-14R from 2012 onwards, ensuring a precise fit for these high-output machines.

King Engine Bearings uses a tri-metal construction for these bearings, which combines steel, bronze, and aluminum layers. This design helps to distribute load evenly across the bearing surface and manage heat effectively. The XP overlay adds an extra layer of protection, reducing friction and preventing premature wear, which is crucial for maintaining oil pressure and engine longevity in demanding applications. When rebuilding or refreshing the bottom end of your Kawasaki's engine, using bearings that are precisely sized and constructed for performance can make a notable difference in reliability and power delivery.
