Intake Manifold Pipe for Kawasaki Ninja 250R EX250 ZZR250 GPX250 | OEM 16065-1156

Product Overview

Restore the high-RPM precision of your Kawasaki twin-cylinder engine with this premium Intake Manifold Pipe. Specifically engineered for the EX250, ZZR250, and GPX250 series (1988–1995), this component is a direct replacement for OEM part #16065-1156. These classic 250cc engines rely on perfect vacuum pressure for smooth power delivery. Over time, heat and vibration cause the original rubber to crack, leading to air leaks that result in hanging idles and poor throttle response. This replacement features an upgraded thickened wall for superior shock absorption and long-term durability.

Key Features

• High-Rev Stability: Specifically designed to withstand the high-frequency vibrations of Kawasaki's small-displacement twin-cylinder engines, ensuring the carburetor stays firmly seated.
• Thickened Wall Construction: Features an upgraded wall thickness that prevents the pipe from collapsing or deforming under high vacuum pressure, ensuring consistent airflow.
• Superior Shock Absorption: The specialized rubber compound effectively absorbs engine tremors, protecting the carburetor internal components from excessive wear.
• Corrosion-Resistant Performance: Engineered to resist the damaging effects of modern fuel additives and engine oils, preventing the dry-rotting and cracking common in older models.
• Restores Factory Performance: Eliminates air leaks that cause a "lean" air-fuel mixture, helping to cure backfiring, hard starting, and inconsistent idling.
