Possible interchangable. Check parts diagrams on kawasaki.com

A starter relay is a starter relay. The main issue with using the relay from one bike model on another is the mounting and not the basic function... a wire goes to battery. A wire go to starter.

The solenoid will have a lug for connecting a trigger wire. On a Kaw, this is always a black wire coming from the starter button. There will also be two large lugs for connecting the starter cable on one and connecting the battery cable and cable coming from the reg/rec...
