Kawasaki FH Series Compatibility
Kawasaki 49070-0931 is documented for select specifications within the following horizontal-shaft FH Series engine families:
- Kawasaki FH601D
- Kawasaki FH641D
- Kawasaki FH680D
- Kawasaki FH721D
These FH engines are 675cc, forced-air-cooled, horizontal-shaft OHV V-Twin engines. Exact muffler fitment, however, depends on the engine specification and exhaust configuration.
Documented 49070-7009 Applications
The previous 49070-7009 muffler is documented on specifications including:
- FH601D-DS01
- FH601D-ES01
- FH601D-FS01
- FH641D-DS01
- FH680D-ES01
- FH680D-FS01
- FH721D-DS01
- FH721D-ES01
- FH721D-FS01
Because 49070-0931 supersedes 49070-7009, these older specifications are particularly important when customers are searching by the original muffler number.
Is 49070-0931 a Complete Muffler?
Yes. Kawasaki identifies 49070-0931 as MUFFLER-COMP, meaning the product is the complete muffler assembly rather than an individual internal muffler component.
However, external exhaust gaskets, mounting nuts, clamps and other installation hardware should be considered separate service parts unless the current Kawasaki package specifically states they are included.
Related Kawasaki Exhaust Gasket
Kawasaki 11060-7016 is a genuine OEM exhaust gasket documented on FH601D through FH770D applications and is commonly serviced with FH-Series exhaust systems.
Check the exact engine diagram for gasket quantity and required mounting hardware before installation.
Do not assume new exhaust gaskets are packaged with 49070-0931. Order required gaskets separately unless Carroll Stream's current inventory has been physically confirmed to include them.
Why the Engine Specification Number Matters
Kawasaki produced multiple versions of FH601D, FH641D, FH680D and FH721D engines with different equipment-specific configurations.
Before ordering, compare the complete model/specification stamped on the engine with the applicable Kawasaki illustrated parts diagram.
For example, an engine identified only as FH721D does not provide the same level of fitment certainty as a complete identification such as FH721D-FS01.
Before Ordering Kawasaki 49070-0931
- Locate the complete Kawasaki engine model and specification.
- Confirm 49070-0931 or legacy 49070-7009 in the exhaust parts diagram.
- Do not order solely because the engine is an FH601D, FH641D, FH680D or FH721D.
- Compare the exhaust outlet and mounting configuration to the original assembly.
- Check whether new exhaust gaskets are needed.
- Inspect existing mounting hardware before installation.
