Ok so my friend was here and checked the bearing and found side to side movement wow I could not find anything. But he said the bearing was really smooth spinning it but still a little side to side play. I called Kawi and there is a updated bearing for that hub and a two week wait crazy. How easy is it the get the bearing out of that hub do I need a new oil seal or dust seal too? Thanks

OK, glad you found it. With 2mm of axial play there had to be something worn, broken, missing.....
The seal needs to be removed and hard to do that without damaging it so best replace it. There is a snapring holding the bearing, and the bearing will be pressed into the hub. A proper bearing driver (30mm) and a bench press should push it out, and a larger driver to push the outer race back in will ensure you don't damage the new bearing. I'm all for using only original Kawasaki parts when possible, but in this case they really are just off the shelf bearings and seals. Take the old ones to an industrial supply and they can match them up. Not sure what is new and improved about the Kawasaki bearing, the part description says 6206UUC3, 6206 is the size, UU is the type of seals, and C3 is the internal clearance. Your call, waiting for the Kawasaki part is the safest bet.

Pouring rain here so I put my bike on the lift and removed the saddlebags, time to check tires, belt, brakes anyway.
I pulled and pushed on my pulley, there is no axial play that I can see. And this poor old bike has half a million kms on it, all original bearings in my pulley and wheels. I do replace my pulley seal and wheel seals regularly tho, my theory is bearings will last forever if kept free of dirt and water and the seals are the only defence against those enemies.

Rubber absorber condition.

My skoot is a 2011 also. My wheel bearing part numbers are 6204 LU NTN. I think if you put a dial indicator on those parts they are always going to have a little axial movement. They are ball bearings. A tapered roller bearing or thrust bearing can manage both axis. A ball bearing only manages one axis so those rubber absorbers need to be in good shape. They help support that bearing.

There are rubber bushings/spacers. From the side of your bike you can grip your rear sprocket top and bottom then push on the top while pulling on the bottom. There will be a little bit of movement which is perfectly normal. I'm not sure if this is the movement you're talking about tho

I noticed that when I first got the bike. Coming from a shaft drive 1500 I was a bit concerned until I found out about the rubber bushings. I just check them every rear tire change to make sure there is no wear......then forget about em

my bushings are like new and when I pulled my hub from my rim the bushings are that tight that they come out with the hub. The movement is the same if I put the hub back on without the bushing in the rim.

I don't know what to tell you, I've never put mine on without the bushings. My gut feeling is that it's fine tho. I'm almost willing to bet the slight movement is still there after you replace the hub bearing as its just the way they are built. I checked out a Voyager and a Vaquero in the showroom....both do the same thing.

Ok so I drove 3 and half hours today and picked up my new bearing. while at the Dealer I was talking to the mechanic there and telling him my story about the movement in the back pulley. He didn't think the bearing was the problem and that there will be movement in that pulley with them bearings. He also had a VOYAGER there for a oil change and checked the pulley on that one and it was the same as the movement in mine. So this was a waste of time and money for me. I was telling him about the whining noise comimg from my belt and he never had much input other then what I was doing. so i got everything back the way i did before i replaced the bearing with the right side adjuster almost ahead one full notch.
