Oil filter bolt

12 Aug 2006 16:33

I have to replace a bolt from the oil filter/side cover on my '77 KZ750 (B2). The bolt which holds on the side cover over the oil filter, and goes into the oil filter, has a completely stripped head. I was able to get it out but now have to replace it of course. So far I've seen it listed for like $60.

Does anyone know of a cheap(er) alternative??

While only an actual OEM kawi bolt work?

Unfortunately the oil filter bolt for your bike (Kawi part# 92003-189) lists as only fitting the '76 ~ 82 KZ750 twins, so finding a non-OEM replacement might prove a task.

Have you checked on eBay or with Jeff Saunders at Z1 Enterprises yet?

78 KZ650-B2 = SOLD
84 ZN700 LTD = SOLD
84 ZX750 GPz = SOLD

Hmmmmm.

According to the aftermarkets like Emgo, they're both an 89mm bolt and is supposed to work on both the 16009-002 and 16009-003 oil filters.....

But again, the OEM numbers show they are different...

Yeah hopefully Jeff from Z1 can shed a little light, because if they are able to use the same ones, the EMGO one is only about 10 bucks..

the emgo is a good one

the stock ones have two different wrench hex sizes

1 is a 12mm hex
the other is a 14 or 17 the different kawasaki part #
is because of that.
otherwise the same diameter and length

Which EMGO bolt am I supposed to be looking at?

The 17100 seems to go to all the Kawasaki models they list, but they don't list mine so just wanted to make sure.

I haven't been able to confirm which emgo bolt is the one you guys were talking about. Do any of you know the emgo part # for the bolt??
