Intake Manifold for Kawasaki KX60 1983–2003 | 12023-1019

Product Overview

Restore a secure and properly sealed connection between the carburetor and reed-valve assembly with this replacement intake manifold, designed for compatible Kawasaki KX60 two-stroke dirt bikes from 1983 through 2003.

Also referred to as a reed valve holder or carburetor intake boot, this component replaces an original manifold that has become cracked, hardened, loose, distorted, or difficult to seal after prolonged exposure to engine heat, vibration, fuel vapor, dirt, and off-road riding conditions.

A damaged intake manifold can allow unmetered air to enter the engine, potentially causing difficult starting, unusually high or unstable idle, hanging RPM, hesitation, inconsistent throttle response, or a lean-running condition.

Designed as a direct replacement for Kawasaki OEM 12023-1019, this manifold installs in the original intake position when the opening diameter, mounting-hole pattern, clamp location, and overall shape match the original part.
