Classic FI, Nomad FI and Drifters 2002-2005 use the same pump. As you likely know getting a new one from parts suppliers may be difficult. I find two part numbers for this pump 49040-1071 and 49040-0012. The first comes from the Kaw parts diagrams. The second one is referred to in some parts lists. 

Have a look on ebay, bike salvage yards and kawasaki dealers. Do an online search for aftermarket suppliers.


Additionally, have a look at this for an aftermarket replacement:
