where to buy a head gasket set?

Post by parby81 »

Does any one know where to get one from for an L3 (1993)? I've tried M&P and AMS motorsprt suggested twist grips but i can't seem to find them.
I just want the top end gasket set, or at least a head gasket and exhaust gaskets. Who does everyone else use?

the headgasket is around £12 from Kawasaki. Theres people on ebay doing exhaust gaskets for them as well for ~£5 inc postage.

Whats the mileage and age of the bike? You might not need to replace other seals (valve stems etc). However it might be an idea to get the spark plug o rings that seal against the rocker cover. The rocker cover gasket itself is around £27 from kawasaki , so if its not gone hard try re-using it with a smear of oil around it again and remove it carefully. If you are doing the headgasket you will no doubt have to remove the timing cover, so make sure you get one of those gaskets too.
