I have just taken appart the suspension linkage on my KR1-S, and have a question.
The parts list and workshop manual show needle roller bearings in the linkage, however when I took mine appart these all appear to have been replaced with nylon bushes.
Does anyone know why this would have been done?

As Scooble says, probably cost.
I should imagine they are/were 'raymax' items, they're ok but obviously not built to last.
I would just replace the knackered items with either new items/nos items/replica items or just use the 'plastic' bits you have.
And as Scooble also mentions, certain parts are hard to get hold of now-a-days
