What Does the BK Suffix Mean?

This packaging designation does not mean that this customer listing automatically contains an entire bulk carton. Unless the Carroll Stream listing specifically states otherwise, this product should be sold as one oil filter.
In other words, the BK suffix is relevant to Kawasaki's distribution and packaging format rather than identifying a different engine-filter application.
