  That black stuff is paint. Kawasaki paints the inside of the ports. Sometime it comes off but is no danger to the engine.  Cam.

I kinda remember seeing some black residue on the intake side as well when I yanked my '01 cylinder. I "Easy Offed" all that residue as I was concerned, and had never seen that done before.

kaw rider:
They should repaint it black in there, it's painted black for a reason.

What was the reason? Flow?

kaw rider:
cooler surface temp.
