Gasket Kits for Kawasaki Dirt Bikes

Kawasaki Heavy Industries Motorcycle & Engine is a division of Kawasaki Heavy Industries; one of Japan’s largest major corporations that is active in multiple fields including robotics, industrial machines, aerospace, military defense systems, and powersports vehicles. Kawasaki’s motorcycle effort came as a result of the buyout of a once-famed national brand called Meguro. Kawasaki’s first motorcycles under the Meguro name wore the Kawasaki Aircraft insignia; which was the founding division of Kawasaki Heavy Industries that first got into vehicle production. From 1949 to 1952, Kawasaki developed their first ever motorcycle engine and by 1953, it was being mass produced. Success with Kawasaki/Meguro motorcycles allowed Kawasaki to drop the Meguro branding in 1963. The Kawasaki W1 was based on classic English cafe racers from BSA (Birmingham Small Arms) and proved popular enough the succeeding model, the Kawasaki K2, to be exported to the United States as an inexpensive and more reliable alternative to the costlier--and seemingly temperamental English-made bikes. Kawasaki soon found themselves deep in heavy competition from fellow countrymen Kawasaki, Yamaha, and Suzuki as well as from England’s Norton and Triumph brands and America’s Harley-Davidson in the high-performance motorcycle segment. In 1981, Kawasaki entered the ATV market with the three-wheeled KLT200. The first four-wheel ATV from Kawasaki debuted in 1985 called the Bayou 185. The Bayou evolved throughout the years, spawning the company’s first ATV with four-wheel-drive, the Bayou 300 4X4 in 1989. Their first side-by-side was introduced in 1988, called the MULE (Multi-Use Light Equipment). Like the other Japanese contemporaries, Kawasaki’s vast motorcycle experience has given them the fundamentals to create powerful and rugged all-terrain utility and recreational vehicles that are in high-demand with powersports enthusiasts as well as professionals.

Gaskets allow for two or more mating surfaces to seal in order to prevent compression leaks. They’re just as crucial as the bolts that hold together your vehicles vital drive components such as the engine, transmission, differential(s), and pumps. Over time, the stock OEM gaskets can deteriorate from the extreme heat and various pressures from inside the engine. Or, if your machine spends a lot of time unused, the gaskets may rot due to inactivity. When you perform your regular maintenance service on your ATV or UTV, motorcycle, or dirt bike, always check the condition of your gaskets. If you’re doing any sort of performance overhaul, you’re going to need new gaskets. Why put in the effort to do the build properly if you’re going to reuse the old, tired and worn-out gaskets? Race Driven sells complete ATV gasket kits for Kawasaki powersports vehicles. These gaskets are made from safe, non-asbestos materials and are designed as direct-fit OEM replacements that can meet or exceed OEM standards.
