All modern finishes are at least two part, some are 3 or more. You have a clear coat on yours I posted a link to the parts you need under your other question

You do have a point.  There are some things I just wouldn't touch myself and the tranny is one  :)
Speaking of paint, would there be clear coat on my 800?
Thanks
Mike

Really too bad you have to clean up someone else's mess. The Kawasaki dealer here in town, where I live is top notch. I, too believe in doing it myself, as I was in the automotive industry for 44 years, as an ASE Master Tech. Some things you just can't do yourself. I had the dealer rebuild the trans on mine when I bought it (sat for 4 years, broken) for 2 very good reasons. 1, I don't have the special tools or training to do the job, and 2, it was winter, and my garage is unheated (and -20 F most of the time). Everything else I've had to do, except for paint work (expertise is invaluable) I did myself...neck bearings, springs, swing arm bearings, bevel drive bearing...stuff like that...

 On the same topic of Do It Yourself...
The Dealer also installed the seat as I said. Check out the cut trim strip to make room for bolts that were just toooo long and have a view at the rear fender where they installed the seat !

I'm a firm believer in the saying that if you want something done right, do it yourself !

As some of you know I just bought an 800 Drifter in Montreal and brought it home to Nova Scotia. From day 1 it was my intention to remove the double seat and install a single Corbin. Today I removed the bags , braces and the seat.
It wasn't a pretty sight.
I know the guy I got the bike from had the dealer install the seat and bags about 2 years ago. This year he had the dealer arrive with a trailer and take the bike to the dealership to replace the battery because it wouldn't start. I wonder what that cost him??
Look at the missing bolt on the battery cover.
