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.
