Go to buykawasaki.com and view parts diagrams. They have got part numbers for everything. Just a matter of what's available. The bearings and washers will be available. It will be stuff like the shaft, cup and ramp that probally wont be available for a lot of older machines. But you nevef know it could be current yet

Just looked in my clymer manual. It has a parts diagram but i couldn't find part numbers anywhere. I'll call around and see where I can find springs other than the kawi dealer. Speed shops should have an assortment of springs, washers, bushings ect.
Foxx4Beaver:
ok, I found everything. The COMPLETE governor piece by piece goes for $192...that's through Rocky Mountain...I should be able to get it closer to $150 with my discount at my Kawie dealer.
That's for my 2000 L2 250.

Should really check out ebay
You could buy 10 for that price. In reality you actually could buy probally 5 different set ups from specific models and be covered with most parts to use in tests. It doesnt appear as though there is dozens of combinations. When you start looking at the mechanisms that use either 5/16" or 3/8" SS balls and cross reference those parts (cup, shaft, ramp and balls) it shows a lot of models and makes of kawasaki power sports use the same parts, more so the 3/8". Thats why I say if you did a little research you could likely narrow it down to about 5 different mechanisms and have yourself covered. I think for myself its going to be quick and painless. If the parts swap out then its a matter of me upgrading to the 3/8" hardware and matching spring. That in it's self should be noticeable. Im not sure if going larger than 3/8 SS balls is even possible without enlarging the ramp. The other thing is what other metal balls could you use to increase or decrease weight? I like stainless because of its anti corrosion properties. I read if your spring rate is to stiff you nullify the PV's

I hear ya...I just wanted an idea of what it would cost new....I'm not gonna do anything until after my hospital visit, then I may decide to buy one complete new set-up and pick up a few off e-bay as well.
Can you get BBs in different sizes?...I wonder if they would have the density/weight...or if they're made out of metal strong enough.
