Locating a very hard to find part

**rudolph** · 22nd July 2015, 10:24

Hello

I am trying to find a part for an old Kawasaki KX250, its the governor rod for the power valves the part # is 490 46 1063, I have tried Kawasaki in nz, a few on line places in japan and the US and have payed for it a cople times then have been refunded because they can't find it.

If one has a NOS one I would be very happy, or knows a good place to try.

Unfortunately a lot of sites do not update availability, when I was looking for my parts I tried a number of others first and all came back saying no longer available - partzilla was one of them

I tried to google image the part number to see how hard it would be to make, all I got was this thread. Would it be possible to put up an image of it?

I bought the one from ebay IkieBikie gave me the link,

Hope the seller has it and isn't planning on getting it from Kawasaki

I don't think OEM from the factory is that grubby. Looks like it's being kicking around longer than the bike it was bought to fix.
Seeing as this thread is so sleuthy, how about finding a front axle for a 1981 PE400x?

Don't listen to Gordie.

And yes, it's the same part number for the 400 axle.
