1989 transmission fit in a 1988 motor?
« on: September 02, 2010, 02:37:26 AM »
Ive had some issues with my 1988 transmission and was wondering if the 1989 transmission will fit into the motor without any problems. I believe they where a little different.

go to kawasaki.com/owners info/parts diagrams and have a look.the pictures are usually accurate enough to be able to tell by looking.

Hello.
The shafts fit 88-04 kx500.
The gears all fit 88-04 except for these 3
INPUT 2ND,20T
INPUT 3RD,22T
OUTPUT 2ND,29T
That means that 88-89 have the same gearing, 90-04 have the same gearing.
So, you could swap in an 04 transmission in your 88 and you would get the updated gearing  :-o
