I understand what you mean. Its not going to be easy to convince someone to tear apart a brand new motor though, even if they did wreck their bike.
Its too new of an engine to have parts like that laying around in warehouses.
To be perfectly honest, and I'm quite sorry, but I doubt you're going to get this part in time to make your race weekend. Not without some serious luck either from a kind hearted board member, or from the dealer.
I actually went to buykawasaki.com and looked up the part numbers just to see if the part is the same from the '00 motor I have in my garage. Unfortunately, it isn't. If it would have worked, I would have sent it to you, since the motor is just hanging around collecting dust (its still for sale, people).
Sorry man,
BC.
I didn't do it, I swear.
And even if I did, what makes you think I would admit it to you?
