part identification help
« on: February 09, 2010, 04:47:12 AM »
many of you will know this already, but i thought id put it on for new members and anyone that hasnt discovered it yet.
when looking for parts or the way things fit together, go to kawasaki.com
http://www.kawasaki.com/DefaultFrame.aspx?strContentUrl=/SITE/VIVEHICLEINFORMATION/VICHOOSEVEHICLE.ASP
 and choose owners info, then part diagrams, select your model, then select year.
this will give you exploded part diagrams and part number lists for each system on the required model, and by clicking on the full part number in the lower box, it will tell you whether the part is active or discontinued.however, even though a part may say discontinued, that simply means it isnt being supplied anymore. your local kwak dealer may still have the discontinued part knocking about from when it was current, so its always worth phoning round and checking.
go to it........ :wink:

And lo, I did loft the front wheel and carried it forth to the unbelievers, and cast it down before them and said unto them ''look now upon the might of my throttle control ye pitiful cretinous ones''
And the unbelievers did quake in their boots....

good job Kwak, this is what I use too when looking up parts.  Another good one is Bike Bandit because you can look up any additional brands of machines you might also have.  plus they give what the price is (reasonably).

I  put together a list of 20 or so items. They had everything but the kx500 labels on the swingarm. They seem to have quite a bit in stock.

I found this site. It's a lot like bike bandit but the prices are better on most things I have looked at. http://www.powersedge.com/pages/parts/viewbybrand/9/Kawasaki.aspx?gclid=CPDv2teV4p8CFRTyDAodEybrIA
It's hard to keep a drivers license riding a 2 stroke dirt bike on the street.  If you drive within the law they are VERY boring.
