Kawasaki 11061-1285 Product Details

11061-1285 Replaces Kawasaki 11061-7083

Kawasaki 11061-1285 is the current replacement for older rocker-case gasket 11061-7083.

If an older parts manual or equipment catalog calls for 11061-7083, current service-part information directs that application to 11061-1285.

What Is a Kawasaki Rocker Case Gasket?

The rocker case, often referred to as the valve cover, encloses components of the engine's valve train at the cylinder head.

Kawasaki 11061-1285 provides the sealing surface between the rocker case and cylinder head on compatible engines.

A damaged or deteriorated gasket can allow engine oil to seep from the rocker-case sealing surface.

How Many 11061-1285 Gaskets Are Required?

Kawasaki V-Twin engines have separate rocker cases for the two cylinders. Many compatible engine diagrams therefore specify quantity 2 of 11061-1285.

For example, Kawasaki FR691V-DS15 documentation lists GASKET, CASE-ROCKER (2) under part number 11061-1285.

11061-1285 and the Rocker Cases

Current Kawasaki parts diagrams often show separate rocker cases for cylinder #1 and cylinder #2 while using the same 11061-1285 gasket at each cover.

For example, applicable diagrams can list:

• 11022-0046 – CASE-ROCKER, #1 CYL
• 11022-0047 – CASE-ROCKER, #2 CYL
• 11061-1285 – GASKET, CASE-ROCKER

The rocker cases themselves are separate service parts and are not included with this gasket.

Rocker Case Gasket vs. Head Gasket

11061-1285 is not a cylinder head gasket.

It seals the rocker case or valve-cover area. The cylinder head gasket sits between the cylinder head and cylinder/crankcase and uses a different Kawasaki part number.

For example, many current FR, FS, FT and FX applications use 11004-0762 as the cylinder head gasket.

When Should a Rocker Case Gasket Be Replaced?

Inspect the gasket whenever the rocker case or valve cover is removed.

Replacement may be appropriate if the gasket is torn, compressed, hardened, damaged or showing evidence of oil leakage.

If oil is leaking around the rocker case, inspect the gasket, cover and mating surface before replacing parts.
