Title: Best Kawasaki " dealer" prices in the USA
Post by: 81cr450 on February 18, 2011, 02:21:11 PM
I need powervalves, the whole setup, for a AF I'm building. Its looking like I need to buy new as used prices are to the point of buying a complete cylinder to get them for a reasonable price. What I want to know is what dealer in all the US has the best price break. I've found cheap bike parts that get the price down to $330 but... Also how many of you are seeing powervalve problems & why. Basically what breaks. Thanks for your time & input, sounds like a stickyable subject though if we all shop from the best price dealer it could help them keep the prices low :?

you can buy used complete cylinder but most of the powervalves will have some wear on them. The last 15 cylinder i bought complete only 2 of the cylinder had good usable powervalves. Start buying used complete cylinders intill you find a good complete set.

if a dealer is a parts website then go to cheapcycleparts.com  they have real cheap prices . for example

cheapcycleparts.com = 89kx250 kickstarter =$133 shipped to canada , $103 for the kicker

my local kawi dealer = same thing = $180 plus tax!!!!!!!!!!
