Hello I'm a new member here but very familiar to this site. I always seem to find a solution when I'm on this site but not with this problem so I decided to join and give it a try. I ride a Kawasaki kfx 400 same as ltz 400 or z400 as some call it. I was in the process of rebuilding my motor and while trying to put the valve springs back in, the tool I was using slipped and popped out the spring causing me to lose one of the small chokes that hold the valve tight with the spring. I have no Idea what the name of this part is and can't find it anywhere. They are two metal pieces that form a cone when put together and go inside the retainer of the valve spring. Any help to where I can get my hands on these and where they might sell them?? Please help, I'm stuck and can't finish my bike without it. Thanks

 

Actual name is called a valve collet,but most people call them valve keepers.2004 Kawasaki KFX400 (KSF400-A2) Valve(s)/Camshaft(s) | Cycle Parts Outlet That was my nick name at work "keeper" cause I was on the floor a lot looking for ones I'd dropped.. These may or may not fit your year model. For a 2004 model I listed.http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-Pack-Genui...UAAOSwNphWYgm5 Amazon has them also.https://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&fie...tag=mozilla-20
