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!
