Next dumb question, can't find rebuild kit...
03 Jan 2016 17:48
I doubt that the infallible Google can't find something... Good source for a factory displacement master rebuild kit? J-Motor '82+ KZ1000P

What source do you use when ordering OEM Kawasaki parts? Sometimes the on-line parts info is incorrect but it seems to show the master cylinder parts are still available.

Are you asking about a master cylinder rebuild kit or a stock bore engine rebuild kit?
If you are asking about an engine kit, I've never heard of such. You can buy an engine gasket kit. If you do, be certain it was made in Japan. There are cheaper gaskets, but they lead to grief. The factory gaskets are usually best, but there is no kit. You have to order individual gaskets and seals. If you are talking hard parts like rings and bearings, there is no kit I am aware of. You will need to carefully measure and assess what you have in order to determine what you need to buy.
If you are talking about brakes, see previous posts.

Just an FYI. From the K&L catalogue the Fr Br mc kit is part #32-8052. the Rr is #32-8053.
K&L parts are made in Japan & oem quality imho.
I did not see a K&L reservoir cap diaphragm.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationNot sure if you want to keep OEM but I have bought 2 or 3 MC from this eBay vendor and could not be happier. Much cheaper than a rebuild kit and they come complete with brake light switch, banjo bolt, crush washers and new lever:
Don't fix it until it's broken.

Sorry martin, but K&L parts are NOT OEM quality. Not even close.
On three different occasions I've struggled with poor quality K&L brake system parts causing problems. Twice with caliper piston seals that were too tight and not allowing the piston to move as designed, and another time where the master cylinder piston was scraping inside the bore and binding. Each time the issue was quickly resolved by replacing the parts with real OEM parts.
K&L had a big problem with bad valve shims too. Jeff from Z1 provided the narrative a while back on this but bottom line is some shims were not hardened properly and were shattering during use. NOT good.

Okey doke. I've had good luck with their stuff: Fr Br caliper piston, caliper rebuild kit, fork seals & a few other things.
