Alternative shift lever shaft for 87 kdx 200??
While splitting cases to install some crank seals I found that my shift lever shaft was bent. So bent that it was hard to remove, I had to tap it out with the cases partially separated. I put some feelers out for a used shaft and came up with nothing. Plan b was to take it to a local machine to to see if they could straighten it, now my shaft is in 2 pieces. My question is has anyone used or know of other year or model shafts that may work? It looks like a lot of them are the same diameter as they use the same part numbers on the collars that are used. There does seem to be different pawl numbers for a few. I was comparing 87 88 89 kx125 and Kdx 200 models. Any info on alternative model shafts that others may have used or know that will work would be greatly appreciated or any leads on a shift shaft for my 87 kdx 200.

I think you're looking at the wrong part. That's the mainshaft. He's looking for the shifter shaft.MaverickAus wrote:According to the fiche that shaft 13127-1141 is used in the following Kawasaki's

The shifter shaft is 13161-1137 and, according to Partzilla, it's used on the '86 and '87 KDX200.

I am seeing 1986 and 1987 only. I looked on eBay and there is one in UK for $50, kinda high.

I'm aware of the oem listing fitting 86&87 only. Was curious if anyone had tried years other than those with any luck, some other shafts use all the same collars, springs, and pawls as the 87. Maybe the shafts are slightly different length or different material?? Just curious, maybe it's not even possible.
I'm checking on the U.K. listing to see the condition of the splines, the add says they are good but with the crappy photo you cant see them at all.
Thanks

I would eBay message some of the USA sellers that have shift drum / fork / transmission for sale. They may have a shift shaft, but it is just not listed.
