Yes although the guy doing the work may have one ......Check out the clutch basket tool thread in the tools section ............. O ya and sorry but you still need the sprocket and the assembly cause I just called CCparts and they said they would need to order those from Kawasaki and THEY DON"T HAVE THEM.

Partzilla told me on the 13193-1062 its on National back order with no date from Kawasaki on when they may be available..... and the 12046-1032 is not available !!!

so these companies are in the business of taking your money, but not having the parts? Ive paid them already....

I just ordered the sprocket from Z power they are the only ones I can find that have it (thanks Ed !!!)......make sure you have a jar of Vasoline ready cause you'll need it ...... they may have the 13193-1062 but I didn't check .... either gonna hold out for Kawasaki on that one or hoping my parts bike is in decent shape since it wasn't started since the late 80s.

Partzilla did that to me for a good month ... and have heard more than a few do it so yes your right.

Well, i went ahead and bought that used parts lot that i was looking at. its got the whole assembly in it, that i can rebuild.

Hopefully the sprocket, or my sprocket, will be in re-usable shape. Ill just do it myself, with the help of a friend, and worst case i wont be out any labor.

if i call Cheapcycle and they tell me they cant get the parts ive already paid for, will they allow me to substitute more items, such as a rebuild kit, oil pan gasket, ect ect? or is this going to turn into me being out 200$ for 2 months?

i shouldve called them first. im kicking myself now. i had just enough money to buy the new parts and pay for labor. if they hold my money forever, its gonna be that much longer i dont get to ride.

I just checked the cheap cycle site, and the price on the asssembly is 7$ cheaper today, then what i paid....

why/how can they adjust price on a part they dont even have?

this is really getting to me. I may take a half day off work, just so i can call them myself and get it from the horses mouth....
