I recently ordered Kawasaki part #27010-1403 Thermostat Switch that turns on the 800 fan when driving in hot summer weather and of course keeps the 800 from over heating. After placing my order with Partszilla online it showed the history the next day that it is on backorder until August. I am thinking August-really. I call them and they said it was a national back-order by Kawasaki and not in stock from anyone. They said my local dealer might have one on the shelf. I called local and they do not and said that it is a odd part not shared with other bikes because the electrical connector is unique and only fits the Drifter 800. I then asked how long is a national back-order could be and they said sometimes it months until they have enough paid pre-orders to make a batch. I then asked if their computer ties into other dealer computers to see if another dealer might have the part. No theirs didn't.
So I started calling different dealers in Illinois before I start calling dealers in other states for one that would have it in stock. Luckily the forth call found the only one they had and will have it UPS tomorrow. Only paid for ground but less then 3 hours away it's coming next day.
Long story short if you need a part on national backorder and Ebay and Amazon does not have it either then call your local to far away Kawasaki dealers to find one that may have the part sitting on their shelf.
That and if you need one for down the road, or want a back-up just in case hard to find part, then order one now and wait months for it.
