Here's what the genuine, official, Kawasaki, non-homemade, actual part number 57001-119 clutch holding tool looks like (see pic). I have one because I saw it dirt cheap several years ago on eBay (about $7). It is literally 2 steel clutch plates welded together with an offset handle welded onto them. As others suggested, it would be very simple to fabricate if you have a couple clutch plates, some scrap metal, and a friend with a welder. Ed

Whip up some sort of handle and bolt it on. I gave the last one I made to a mate a while back. I used to be playswithnitro but; it happens...

650ed Offline User Posts: 15344 Thank you received: 2829	That tool leaves me wondering. How can it fit into the clutch basket with the handle being in the same plane as the clutch plates? It seems to me that unless the handle is offset like the Kawasaki tool the handle would prevent the rest of the tool from sliding into the basket.
