i was working on double checking MY 1000j project motor prior to resetting the cams and tensioner(tensioner was hanging by one loose bolt when received}...i took out both cams and the tensoiner and turned the motor over to see if it is free...and hit a little rough spot....like an idiot i sheared the crank timing pin.then i used the stator bolt like i should have...motor is free....i got the peice out of the crank simple with a fine easy out....where can i get the right material for a new one? it is a roll shape shear stock(like a tounge rolled up..lol)with a hole left in the center...my factory shop manual says nothing about r&r of crank pin...and there are no threads here that i could find....any help would be great...i know it is a silly question and asmall piece of roll stock is what i need but i not 100% SURE....THANKS GUYS

I was told to be careful with the EZ out due to the pin likely being hardened -- was surprised how easy it was to remove.
But thing I was gonna say -- I found this part was still available through Kawasaki at like $1.87 or something, got it at my dealer in about three days. I'd do this (and maybe get two?) before I'd use an Ace hardware roll pin.

Anyway, get one of the pins that has a slit on the side and compresses. You can tap it in the hole and it will stay just fine. I have had one in for thousands of miles on one of my bikes. I don't recall the name of this type pin. Use an automatic center punch on the broken pin and stay on the pin as it is very hard. An EZ-Out will BREAK so I would highly recommend not using one. If you broke the EZ-Out you will end up with the crank in a machine shop. If you use one of the pins I have used, you will have to cut it off some as it will likely be too long. I used a Dremel tool with cut off wheel.

Out of curiosity, what method did you use to remove the leftover pin?
