No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationNo eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationPer kawasaki.com --
Part No. 92033-1040
Kawasaki calls it a Snap Ring, 43.5 mm, used on 150 Kawasaki models.
Supposedly an "active" part that's still available at Kawasaki dealerships

Pics can be seen on ebay listings:

Other aftermarket sources include:
www.partzilla.com/parts/detail/kawasaki/KP-92033-1040.html
www.nwvintagecycleparts.com/search-resul...=92033-1040&st=spart

Watch out for needlessly high shipping charges.
The usually higher dealership price may favorably compare in this instance because of others' shipping charges.

Good Fortune!

Perhaps not using a genuine Kawasaki Service Manual for the model at hand.

May help to view the diagram at kawaski.com which does include the clip.

Lots of good info on kawasaki.com, including parts diagrams, part names, part numbers, models sharing same part, availability, etc. Here's a link for help with navigating the site and finding information.

DoctoRot Offline Sustaining Member Oh, the usual... I bowl, I drive around... Posts: 2544 Thank you received: 664	are you talking about the steering head bearings? They can be kinda hard to get out but don't be afraid to get tough on them. The race on the stem is the worst one IMO.
