I highly doubt it. I've never heard of one in the whole 2 years that i've been helping out at a motorcycle shop. If it is a hole you're trying to repair, and it's small enough then try to use some JB Weld. if it is cracked or has a bigger hole then replacing it would be the safest and best thing to do.

Some one said "maybe weld it on th engine", this is an invitation to a deadly explosion, certainly for the engine, and likely the guy welding as well. I have seen engines explode when someone tries this, and is is nasty. Also, I would not recommend epoxy, except as a sealer after welding. Aluminum soaks up oil, and epoxy will not hold. After welding, the oil is burned away. If the pan is pot metal, welding is tricky, weld is often porus, but can be4 sealed by a good metal bearing epoxy. JB Weld, PC-7 are good ones, but be sure it is metal bearing, will be mid to dark gray. Also should say can take at least 250 F temperature. Be sure the welder is good, not an apprentace. You do not want warpage or cracking.
Good Luck.

Repair kit to repair what?

After reading some of the answers, I got somewhat of an idea. of what you mean.
--If your oil pan has a crack, or small hole, JB-Weld works excellent to repair minor damage (can get at hardware stores, or maybe auto parts). It's as strong as a weld and seals water tight (in your case oil). I've used it.
--If the threads for the oil drain bolt are stripped, I'd recommend a "Keensert". They're stronger then heli-coils and are permanent.

Is it damaged? like a crack or a hole? You don't want to have to take it off I assume. There is no patch for something like that. Your only options are to replace it or take it off and take it to have the repair done by a welder.
If you find a really really good welder and he's willing he may be able to fix it while its still on the bike.
If your drain plug is stripped out there are options for that.

no! kawasaki offers no "kits" for any repairs. all parts must be purchased individually ( gaskets,o-rings, oil pan )
