all you need is a set of snap ring pliers
they come in either internal (which you compress with the pliers) external (which opens when you squeeze the handle, these are the ones you need) or reversable
if it were me, and your dropping 10 bucks on a pair of pliers, spend the extra 2 and get the reversible ones

or were you looking for a kawasaki branded one?

Here is what I would recommend they can all be used as internal or external and you dont have to fiddle with changing tips ect..
And it's always nice to have a case for the tools you wont use often.

Circlip pliers are a standard item, so look around for a set that fits your needs.

Thanks everyone,
i have a set of regular snap ring pliers for i/d clips and usualy use those but these vee shape clips were difficult to remove.
i will look for a set to remove o/d clips.

These are probably more what you're looking for
They're flat instead of pointed

I use these pliers without issue:

I saw them a about a year or so ago at the parts store and had to buy them because I hated the design of the ones that I had (only good for a couple of light uses then to the garbage can):
