Kawasaki OEM Valve Stem Oil Seal 92049-7001

The Kawasaki 92049-7001 Oil Seal is a genuine OEM valve-stem sealing component used on a wide range of Kawasaki 4-cycle engines.

Kawasaki identifies the original part as SEAL-OIL, RVC2 6X11X10.2. The nominal seal dimensions are 6 mm x 11 mm x 10.2 mm.

Kawasaki has superseded 92049-7001 to current service part 92049-0862.

92049-7001 Has Been Replaced by 92049-0862

Kawasaki no longer services 92049-7001 as the newest part number. The current genuine replacement is 92049-0862.

Some older references may also show 92049-7009. Current replacement catalogs ultimately route these applications to 92049-0862.

What Does a Kawasaki Valve Stem Oil Seal Do?

The valve stem seal helps control the amount of engine oil reaching the valve stem and guide area while the valve moves during normal engine operation.

A properly functioning seal helps limit unwanted oil entry into the combustion area while still allowing the valve train to operate correctly.

Worn or damaged valve stem seals can contribute to oil consumption or oil entering the cylinder-head area, although those symptoms can also have other engine-related causes.

How Many 92049-7001 Seals Does the Engine Use?

Many compatible Kawasaki V-Twin engines use four valve stem seals total — one for each valve position across the two cylinders.

For example, Kawasaki's FR651V-AS36 cylinder/crankcase catalog lists 92049-7001 quantity 4.

What Engines Use Kawasaki 92049-7001 / 92049-0862?

Examples include FH381V, FH430V, FH480V, FH500V, FH541V, FH580V, FH601V, FH641V, FH680V, FR600V, FR651V, FR691V, FR730V, FS481V, FS541V, FS600V, FS651V, FS691V, FS730V, FT651V, FT691V, FT730V, FX481V, FX541V, FX600V, FX651V, FX691V, FX730V, FX921V and FXT00V.

Engine-family references are not universal fitment statements. Verify the complete Kawasaki model and specification before ordering.

Documented Application Examples

Current replacement 92049-0862 is documented in exact cylinder/crankcase diagrams for applications including:

• FH381V-AS01
• FH500V-AS00
• FH541V-AS21
• FR600V-AS11
• FR651V-AS36
• FR651V-BS00

These examples illustrate the broad service use of this seal family and are not a complete compatibility list.

92049-7001 Is Not a Crankshaft Oil Seal

Kawasaki engines use several different oil seals in the same cylinder/crankcase assembly.

The small 6 x 11 x 10.2 mm 92049-7001 / 92049-0862 seal is different from the larger crankshaft or governor-related oil seals shown elsewhere in the same diagram.

For example, a Kawasaki FR651V diagram also lists:

• 92049-7010 – 35 x 48 x 8 oil seal
• 92049-7019 – 8 x 14 x 5 oil seal
• 92049-7028 – 38 x 62 x 8 oil seal
• 92049-7001 / 0862 – 6 x 11 x 10.2 valve stem seal

When Should a Valve Stem Seal Be Replaced?

Valve stem seals are commonly inspected during cylinder-head or valve-train repair.

Replacement may be appropriate if the seal is hardened, damaged, worn or no longer controlling oil properly.

Oil consumption, exhaust smoke or fouled spark plugs can have several causes, including piston rings, cylinder wear, valve guides or other engine conditions, so proper diagnosis is important before replacing parts.

Before Ordering Kawasaki 92049-7001

• Locate the complete Kawasaki engine model and specification.
• Confirm 92049-7001 or current 92049-0862 in the exact parts diagram.
• Remember that the current service part is 92049-0862.
• Determine how many valve stem seals are required for the repair.
• Do not confuse this small seal with a crankshaft oil seal.
• Inspect the related valve and guide components during cylinder-head service.
