you should be able to go right to your Kawie dealer and get one.I have two spares...part# 11009-1949...hope that helps.

That's for 88-04 500...in case you're talking about a different bike that I missed.

By not running the crush washer, you have more chance of cracking your pipe that's why it's there. The orings are the seal. A little heat resistant RTV on the orings, a little to hold the CW in place, good to go.

well i talked to kawasaki today and they verified that my engine numbers are a match to my vin numbers and it is a standard( US ) 95 kx500 motor and frame so the motor is original to the bike but it still doesn't explain why my cylinder is so weird and i also talked to kustom kraft and i should be getting my cylinder back middle of next week

Get it back take some good pics of it. Then get it plated, If you have the bike setup right it should last just fine. You don't need a reboreable cly unless you blow it up all the time. (not setup right) My 93 is still all stock on the plating, hate to think of how much gas I have run through that bike.
I have noticed alot of people on here, over thinking, over maintaining, over working, there bikes. Replacing stuff because joe blow said too, not because it needed it.
I have seen 5k plus plus put into a bike that ran perfectly before he got it, now it knocks, leaks and needs to come completely apart again. MORE $$$

Maybe you have an Eric Gorr cylinder, Eric was a real port guru back years ago. Maybe he went wild grinding extra ports ??
