Stock Parts and Prices Are A Rip!!!

[dbrutherford]

So this is the crap that typically happens to me. I must say in this case that it happened because I was playing on the jet ski boards or browsing my pdf service manual instead of doing real "engineering work" at work last week.

So I bought a few face plates, one for a 440/550/750/800 and one for a 650 with lanyards. Part of me I wanted to finally have the right tools so I bought a battery strap tool, (it is actually pretty nice), a coupler wrench, and the adapter piece for a drive shaft holder.

Well first off I am ticked because of the cost but at least I have the parts, they are new, unused and not some else's junk... But the coupler wrench is nothing more than a stock coupler with a piece of 5/16" steel bolted to it with three bolts! Most importantly it has the 1/2" square hole in it for a ratchet... Hell I could have made my own had I known it was going to be this!!! Then that adapter for the drive shaft was around 20 bucks and it is just a little piece of steel. I still need the drive shaft holder to even use it and it runs around 80 bucks.

Man I need a job working for Kawasaki so I can get my parts for cost or better yet... FREE!

I'm still trying to find out where to look at parts for the new X2 hull, but for some reason can't find anything or its in Japanese.

I bought this crap off of Ron Ayers. I guess your best bet is to talk to Macc Racing or Jet Ski Unlimited. Those were the only two peopel i ever heard of importing them...
