Kawasaki OEM Gasket & Piston Ring Set for FR, FS & FX 651V, 691V and 730V Engines
This genuine OEM Kawasaki engine gasket and piston ring package combines the current Kawasaki 11028-6322 engine gasket set with 13008-0569 piston rings for service and repair of select Kawasaki FR, FS and FX V-Twin engines.
Kawasaki 11028-6322 supersedes the discontinued 11028-6293 engine gasket set. The 13008-0569 piston ring set is also a genuine Kawasaki replacement part used on many compatible FR651V, FR691V, FR730V, FS651V, FS691V, FS730V, FX651V, FX691V and FX730V engine specifications.
These components are intended for engine service work where the cylinder heads, crankcase, intake system, valve covers, oil seals, carburetor sealing components or piston rings are being serviced. Exact requirements depend on the condition of the engine and the engine's complete specification number.
Current Kawasaki Gasket Set: 11028-6322
Supersedes: Kawasaki 11028-6293
Piston Ring Set: Kawasaki 13008-0569
13008-0569 Supersedes: Kawasaki 13008-7005
Fitment is specification-specific. Kawasaki uses multiple configurations within the FR651V, FR691V, FR730V, FS651V, FS691V, FS730V, FX651V, FX691V and FX730V engine families.
Do not order solely because your engine says "FR691V," "FX730V" or another family number. Verify the complete engine model and specification number before purchasing.

What Kawasaki Engines Use 11028-6322?
The Kawasaki 11028-6322 engine gasket set is used on specific engine configurations within the following Kawasaki families:
The engine family alone is not a complete fitment identifier. Kawasaki produced multiple specification numbers within these families, and individual specifications can use different gaskets, carburetor components and other service parts.
What Is Included in Kawasaki 11028-6322?
The 11028-6322 gasket set is substantially more than a pair of cylinder-head gaskets. Kawasaki's kit includes sealing components used across several areas of the engine.
| Service Area | Components Included in the Kawasaki Gasket Set |
|---|---|
| Cylinder Heads | Head gaskets and related cylinder-head/intake sealing components |
| Valve / Rocker Covers | Rocker-cover gaskets and valve-stem oil seals |
| Intake System | Intake manifold, carburetor and insulator sealing components |
| Crankcase | Crankcase-related gaskets, O-rings and oil seals |
| Crankshaft / Governor | Applicable crankshaft and governor-shaft oil seals |
| Breather System | Breather gasket and related sealing components |
| Exhaust | Muffler / exhaust gaskets |
| Carburetor Service | Applicable carburetor gaskets, O-rings, shaft seals, float valve and plugs |
The exact individual components supplied by Kawasaki can change as part numbers are superseded. When replacing an older 11028-6293 kit, order the current 11028-6322 unless your Kawasaki parts lookup specifies otherwise.
What Does Kawasaki 13008-0569 Do?
Kawasaki 13008-0569 is an OEM piston ring set. The piston rings seal the space between the piston and cylinder wall while allowing the piston to move through the cylinder.
Properly functioning piston rings help maintain cylinder compression, control combustion gases and manage oil at the cylinder wall. Worn or damaged rings can contribute to low compression, excessive crankcase blow-by, oil consumption and loss of engine performance.
Piston-ring replacement is internal engine work. Cylinder condition, piston condition, ring end gap and other measurements should be inspected according to Kawasaki service specifications before the engine is reassembled.
11028-6293 vs. 11028-6322
Kawasaki 11028-6293 has been superseded by 11028-6322. If an older service manual, parts diagram or previous repair order calls for 11028-6293, the current Kawasaki replacement gasket-set number is 11028-6322.
Searching by the older number is still common, so both numbers are important when identifying the correct replacement. The supersession does not mean that every FR, FS or FX engine automatically uses 11028-6322; the engine specification still needs to match.
When Is This Gasket and Piston Ring Package Used?
This combination is intended for more involved engine service where both sealing components and piston rings are required. Typical work may involve cylinder-head removal, crankcase service, valve-cover removal, intake or carburetor disassembly, oil-seal replacement or piston and cylinder inspection.
This should not be treated as a diagnosis for a poorly running engine. Low power, smoke, oil consumption or low compression can have multiple causes. Inspect and diagnose the engine before ordering internal repair parts.
This is not a complete engine. It is an OEM gasket and piston-ring parts package for compatible Kawasaki engines. Additional hard parts or service components may be required depending on engine wear or damage.
How to Confirm Kawasaki Engine Fitment
Locate the Kawasaki identification label on the engine before ordering. The label provides the engine family and the more specific engine specification information needed for an accurate parts lookup.
For example, knowing that an engine is an FR691V is useful, but the complete specification number provides the more precise configuration needed to confirm gasket and internal-engine parts.
