What is the bolt hole pattern for the chain guide considered to be on the KFX?

Looks like they may have something that will work with a skid also...
Provided the KFX is what they consider a "Banshee pattern".

Well the update on this is that kawasaki is not going to cover for it. They say is under maintenance, same as brakes... Oh and the worst part was when i asked for a price for everything. $1700.91. I'm so screwed!! Can someone give me an idea of what to do or where can i get a bottom end for cheaper than that??

Here you go sir, hope this helps. Also, if your feeling confident enough you can do the cases yourself, just be VERY patient and have no distractions.
Heres a link from motosport for all the OEM kawi 450r parts:

only sold in pairs, so that they are an exact match, buy the manual study it and take your time. i have my quad insured and when i snapped the chain and broke the rear sproket they covered it under a collision,since i hit a rock(: it covered all the parts i did the work my self had it done in seven days, but i was busting my ass to make a race.

That's bullshit... you should call Kawasaki.

My guess is that this is entirely the dealer's fault... which is why it's not "covered".
