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.

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.

A long piece of rod and a hammer is the best way I know to do it. :)

Ya doctoRot. How did you get the race off the stem? The ones in the frame are easy enough. But its really stuck on there...

If you are careful you can use a Dremel cutoff wheel to score the race on 2 sides then crack it off with a chisel. Just be careful not to cut into the stem. That's how I did mine. Another option is to buy or maybe borrow from Auto Zone or Advance Auto a special tool made just for such a purpose. Image below shows what it looks like. Ed

either of Ed's methods will work fine. even if you cut into the stem a tiny bit with the dremel it wont matter, as the new race sits over it. I removed one once by throwing the whole clamp in the freezer and then hitting the race with a butane torch. I recommend making a puller like this to install, cheap, easy, and effective. I picked up the idea from someone on this site.

getting the bearing off the stem is a bitch :sick: !
no two ways about it. :(
i have to remove a bunch of steering stem bearings when doing front end conversions.
i have a rivet buster chisel that has a bent tip.
so i turn the lower triple upside down in the vise and using soft jaws clamp the stem and rest the end of the stem on the vise.then you can just barely get at the back bottom of the race and knock it off.you can mar the lower triple some as the chisel bounces against it while being struck.
i have the tool ed pictured but never use it for steering stem bearings ,as i can knock em right off with the chisel.
every now and then i have to cut one off.then i just use an abrasive disc in a die grinder and slowly work it up and down the race until i go through slightly or i can crack it with a chisel.

basically you just attack with whatever you have and don't stop until you win :evil: .
