Engine gasket set for 1994 KZ1000P

My bike has a couple of minor leaks..........my problem is that I DO NOT like any leaks at all. Maybe I should see my shrink, might be cheaper and also easier than locating parts?
Right now it is leaking oil from the shift rod brass bushing (loose fit)....and the clutch rod seal is shot as well. These leaks are near the counter shaft sprocket. The seal for the counter shaft is leaking as well. I've cleaned that area all up but, I know that it will not stay clean for long. My bike leaves a drop or two of oil where ever I park it. Might as well be a Harley!

NOTE: None of the gasket sets include the o-rings you need for the cylinder head and cylinder base oil passages. These you must buy separately, and they are not cheap. You'll likely spend almost as much on these o-rings as the rest of the gaskets. If your other seals are cooked, it's certain that these are too, so plan on replacing them. If you don't, it'll leak there.
Also, if one seal is cooked then your valve seals are probably cooked also, so you should replace those with a Viton set. They can be had for ~$25 or so, which is dirt cheap compared to all the rest of the seals and gaskets you're going to need.
If you're going to be replacing those shaft seals, you're probably looking at $450+ in parts for this job. Depending on how expensive your brand of oil is, it may or may not be worth just living with it. Bad valve seals can cause further damage though.

Current problem areas are: counter shaft seal, clutch push rod seal, shifter rod seal. I already have a complete gasket set and will replace gaskets as needed. Thanks for the info provided...so far!

Well, I'm pretty sure Z1E also has all those shaft seals.
You might also want to check CarolinaCycle or PartZilla. Both have pretty much all the OEM parts for these bikes. It's expensive, but sometimes that's the only choice... Also, as a sanity check, once you have the part numbers from the diagrams on those sites, try searching eBay.
