Intake Manifold Pipe for Kawasaki Z400J, KZ400J, Z550C, KZ550D (1980-1983) | OEM 16065-1014

Product Overview

Restore the smooth idling and reliable power of your vintage Kawasaki inline-four with the GOOFIT Heavy-Duty Intake Manifold Pipe. Specifically designed for the 1980-1983 Z400/Z550 series, this part is a high-precision replacement for OEM #16065-1014.

On vintage air-cooled engines, the intake boots are the most common source of vacuum leaks as the original rubber hardens and cracks over 40 years of service. A leak here causes lean-running conditions, hanging idles, and poor throttle response. Our manifold is engineered from high-strength, heat-resistant materials to provide a perfect airtight seal, ensuring your vintage bike runs as smoothly as the day it left the factory.
