I think all of them did, but I'm not a 550 expert so I may be wrong.

They normally sell for a lot less, there's one on eBay in eBay stores that has been listed for months, and the seller has a Buy It Now of $24.99 and $8.50 shipping. There are usually a number of them available for $35-$50 on eBay.

If it would work in a KZ1000 that might be a pretty neat thing to upgrade to.Might improve the fuel mileage a little too,...but its probably totally different than the KZ1000 trans.,it seems like i always want to shift to one more gear anyway ! they should have had a 6 speed too!
