I'm fairly sure the cam chain tensioner is the same for all models

There are two versions of the orginal genuine tensioner but both will fit any model


Mori ?

As Cargo said there are two versions - buy the complete assembly from the later model (L4~9) , this was recommended to me by KRT (Kawasaki Racing Team). I have one on my H2 engine.

I can certainly get you one but for a small fairly inexpensive item like this your better off with a local Kwack dealer but for a price comparison: 11,500 Yen by 3 day express or about 92 GBP

12048-1125 Tensioner body
92055-086 Sealing O ring
46102-1261 Push Pin
92150-1484 Mounting bolt
13183-1963 Mounting Plate

Let us know how you get on,
