Drive Shaft
« on: March 29, 2018, 07:45:24 PM »
Has anyone come up with a U-Joint rebuild that works? 
I just became aware that Kawasaki no longer has new drive shafts in the parts supply line.

NOPE.
no "replacement" sized joints are available, for either the C14 or C10, did all the legwork many years ago, when the first C14 shaft issues appeared.
only option is a new shaft, or one from a boneyard/ebay... but there are a lot of them out there...

and still new shaft assemblies, you have to look a bit...

  Kind of curious? Mine has 115,000 on it and still works fine.
