Kawasaki OEM Piston 13001-0835
The Kawasaki 13001-0835 piston is a genuine OEM, standard-size engine piston used in select Kawasaki FR, FS, FT and FX Series V-Twin engines.
Part number 13001-0835 is used in specific configurations of Kawasaki FR651V, FR691V, FR730V, FS651V, FS691V, FS730V, FT651V, FT691V, FT730V, FX691V and FX730V engines. Fitment depends on the complete engine specification and, in some applications, the engine serial-number range.
Important: Do not order Kawasaki 13001-0835 based only on an engine family such as FR691V or FX730V.
Kawasaki has used different piston part numbers within some engine families and serial-number ranges. Verify 13001-0835 in the parts diagram for your exact engine specification and serial number before ordering.

What Engines Use Kawasaki Piston 13001-0835?
Kawasaki 13001-0835 appears in parts diagrams for select specifications within the following engine families:
This list identifies compatible engine families, not every specification produced within those families. The complete Kawasaki model, specification and serial number should be used for final parts verification.
13001-0835 Is a Standard-Size Kawasaki Piston
Kawasaki 13001-0835 is the standard-size piston used in applicable engine configurations.
This distinction matters during an engine rebuild. Kawasaki also lists 13029-0045 as a 0.5 mm oversize piston for applicable later engine configurations. An oversize piston is not interchangeable with a standard piston unless the cylinder has been machined and measured for that repair size.
| Kawasaki Part Number | Description |
|---|---|
| 13001-0835 | Standard-Size Engine Piston |
| 13029-0045 | 0.5 mm Oversize Engine Piston for Applicable Specifications |
Do not substitute an oversize piston based only on visible cylinder wear. Cylinder bore condition and dimensions should be measured according to the applicable Kawasaki service specifications before selecting a standard or oversize piston.
Does Kawasaki 13001-0835 Include Piston Rings?
Kawasaki parts diagrams list 13001-0835 as the piston itself. The piston rings, piston pin, retaining rings and connecting rod have separate Kawasaki part numbers.
| Kawasaki Part Number | Related Piston / Crankshaft Component |
|---|---|
| 13001-0835 | Standard Engine Piston |
| 13008-0600 | Standard Piston Ring Set for Applicable Later Configurations |
| 13002-0704 | Piston Pin |
| 92033-0790 | Piston Pin Snap / Retaining Ring |
| 13251-0719 | Connecting Rod Assembly |
| 13029-0045 | 0.5 mm Oversize Piston |
| 13025-0020 | 0.5 mm Oversize Piston Ring Set |
Unless the Carroll Stream product listing specifically states that additional components are included, order the piston rings, piston pin, retaining rings or connecting rod separately when they are required for the repair.
Why the Kawasaki Engine Serial Number Matters
Some Kawasaki engines have a parts break within the same engine family. That means two engines carrying the same general model designation can use different pistons depending on production date or serial number.
For example, published parts information for certain FX691V configurations identifies 13001-0835 beginning with serial FX691-C29594, while earlier engines through FX691-C29593 use a different piston. Certain FX730V specifications also show different piston part numbers between earlier and later production ranges.
This is why the complete engine identification should be checked rather than assuming every FR691V, FX691V or FX730V uses 13001-0835.
When Would Kawasaki 13001-0835 Be Replaced?
A piston is normally replaced as part of internal engine repair after inspection identifies damage or wear outside Kawasaki service limits. Conditions requiring inspection can include piston scoring, damaged ring lands, excessive piston-to-cylinder clearance, seizure damage or other mechanical damage.
Oil consumption, smoke, low compression or loss of power do not automatically mean the piston needs replacement. Those symptoms can also result from piston-ring wear, cylinder wear, valve problems, head-gasket leakage or other engine conditions. Proper diagnosis and measurement should be performed before ordering internal engine parts.
How to Confirm 13001-0835 Fitment
Locate the Kawasaki engine identification label and record the complete engine model, specification and serial number. Then verify part number 13001-0835 in the applicable piston/crankshaft parts diagram.
