I want to order transmission shims and have them ready for when the cases are open. Looking at the Kawasaki parts fiche I am not certain which parts are the shims that can be changed.

Can somebody provide some part numbers?

Thanks, Mike

Have a close look at this (courtesy of Dale's site) :

Don't forget to order new circlips (and several spares) for the final assembly. Only install them once. If you have to pull them off again use another new one.

Great information, thank you!

+1 on lc's post, buy a few extra snap rings. Also, treat yourself to a nice set of snap ring pliers. The updated snap rings I purchased did not have any eyelets requiring a special pair of pliers. An old pair of sr pliers can be modified to work or just buy snap on my .02.

One other thing that helps is to use an additional pair of pliers (duckbills?) and grab the circlip on the opposite side of its opening when installing/removing. Doing so will help prevent the circlip from twisting and minimize how much you have to open the circlip to get it to slide down the shaft

This tip its almost crucial to not deforming the clips, good call Scott. Also there is a website Ron Ayers, you can search part part number's here, I got toothed shims and clips from them for way cheaper than anyone else.

To give proper credit, Walms passed the additional plier tip to me.
