Just got a call from the service manager with good news. He said he nudged Kawasaki about this being the second problem with this final drive, and were they sure they wanted to replace the ring gear unit and have the mechanic go through the very involved process of getting clearances with new and old parts.
Their response was, after second thought, lets just replace the complete unit.
This is exactly what I was wanting in the first place, just a long way around to get it
