Engine gasket set for 1994 KZ1000P
26 Jul 2015 15:37
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!

Not funny. Mine does too. It's been too hot after work to get into it. For the seals the Dealer might be your best bet. No NOS rubber.

Z1 Enterprises should have it. Might have better luck ordering off eBay though... Lots of online parts dealers don't list KZPs earlier than 1996, so that may be your problem. However, I believe 1983-2001 are basically identical. So just say your bike is a 1996 and you should be able to see the gasket.
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.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationUse this guy. High quality gaskets. There are a few of us that have used his gaskets and recommend him.

Sorry guys. I stated that I need a Engine gasket set for 1994 KZ1000P. What I need are a few random engine seals.
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.

Thanks for your advice guys! I researched the parts numbers off of ronayers.com, then searched for seals on Ebay, found them all. A shopping I will go.

A gasket kit or seals for any year KZ1000J will also work.
