OEM Parts Discontinued?
« on: August 01, 2013, 08:34:01 AM »
14073-1772

Is the duct for the air filter of a 2000 Kawasaki KX 125. I've heard this item was discontinued by the manufacturer, but I am hoping that there are still some brand new ones in circulation. Any thoughts? Do 03 ducts fit? What do I do?

According to Kawasaki 14073-1772 fits 2000 KX125 only.
Might try here for a new one:

The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

Already sent them an email. Not in stock. And no longer produced by the manufacturer. I need to find either a person or OEM site who has one just chilling in stock on a shelf somewhere. Lol. Longshot

airfilters fitment is kx125 /250 90-91 and 94-2008 ...  only in 92 and93 were a biger airfilter in use... 

i rather buy some twin air filters... aftermarket is much cheaper than stock... you get 4 for the same price as 1 oem-airfilter... 

there could be diferent numbers in every year, because of a material change, but fitment is the same...  i used the 2008 airfilters in my ´97 kx250 without any problems...   :-)

Except..... The one in this ad will only fit 90-91 KX250 14073-1428.
It is too big for the 125  :-P

I kinda wanted a brand new one with that fresh plastic smell and shine. But if that's not an option I will have to figure something else out... What condition is yours in?

I have the one I got with the bike but I feel like using that is like putting hubcaps on a ferrari.

I have 4 of them in storage.
I would have to pull them and inspect them.
I'll do that in the morning and get back to you.
However, if yours isn't leaking or weather checked you can make it look very nice by cleaning it really good and using any number of rubber or vinyl treatment products.

Oh wow ok that'd be awesome! I'll check mine too later this evening and see what the condition really is.

I cleaned up my airbox duct today. It has a gash in the rubber and some parts are really worn down. Think you you can let me know what condition yours are in? I'd say mine is in fair condition. I'd like to get one thats in good or mint condition.
