The Intake Manifold Boot and Reed Valve Gasket, part number 16065-1372, is a critical component for your Kawasaki KX85, KX100, or any 2001-2021 model from this range. Primarily designed to protect the reed valve in the intake manifold, this boot also adds an extra layer of durability and reliability to your engine. Made of high-quality, durable rubber, it will endure intense pressure and heat generated by the exhaust gases, ensuring optimum performance and longevity.
To install, remove the old boot and gasket. Clean the area thoroughly and install the new boot, ensuring a snug fit to prevent leaks. Then, apply a generous amount of engine oil sealant on the gasket's edge and screwdriver guides to create a secure seal. This step helps prevent the gasket from moving during engine operation and reduces the likelihood of leaks.
This boot and gasket kit not only prevents leaks but also enhances engine performance. The right seal helps maintain the correct mixture in the combustion chamber, ensuring optimal power output and low-end torque. Moreover, it contributes to reducing fuel consumption and emissions, contributing to a healthier environment.
In short, investing in a high-quality intake manifold boot and gasket from a reputable manufacturer like ours is an investment in your bike's performance, durability, and environmental responsibility.
This product is ideal for owners of Kawasaki motorcycles with engine codes corresponding to the specified model years and ZX series models, with the intake manifold located near the front of the engine compartment.
