Dealership or Z1Enterprise

Personally, I would stay far away from those green Athena gaskets. The genuine Kawasaki gaskets are almost always best.

Thank you all for the great responses. Yeah, so after giving this much thought, logic says to use OEM especially with newer synthetic oils. That shit is so slimy it will find it's way through the tiniest of flaws in any thin/cheap gasket.
