Title: OEM Parts Discontinued?
Post by: MXonaKawi 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:

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...   :-)

I do have a used one but my understanding is you only want a new one..

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.
Title: Re: OEM Parts Discontinued?
Post by: sandblaster on August 03, 2013, 02:11:12 PM
I'm sure I have a good one.
Mint?
Probably not.
I'll let you know on Monday.

89: you raise a good point.

Are there other manufacturers who keep more parts around for older bikes? What about your CR250? Was it tough getting parts for that one?

So....

What about Honda?

Yamaha?

Suzuki?

yep ...cms has still tons of oem-parts...   :-).. but my thought is, why an very expensive oem-filter, when you can buy 3-4 aftermarket filters for the same money, that will do exactly the same work!

ktm for example has twin air-filters in stock...  in aftermarket, you can buy exactly the same twin air filter like the oem .. the diferance is the package and higher price...   8-)

He's not looking for a filter...he wants the "duct"...or "boot" as some guys call it.

For my 89 cr250 All the oem parts even NOS (discontinued) oem parts were a piece of cake to get. But the nos parts cost a ton. And the oem parts that are available from Honda were dirt cheap.

end result is a %100 stock oem bike. (yes it is an 89 with 87 forks)

this airboots where also used just more years as the oem- numbers said... sometimes cam diferent numbers for the same part, because of an little material-change ..

airboots airboxes, filters are all the same in the L-series kx125 ,kx250 from 99-2002

look at this link...and order it!  still available for 28,-€ = ca. 35,-us-dollar

As much as I'd love to order it. It's an $18 part. On this site with shipping from the UK, it will cost me just over $80. I'm not sure I want a new piece of rubber that bad.

I sent you 12 pics.
The first 6 are as the boot came off the box.
The last 12 are after a quickie wipe down and some vinyl protectant.
It's not perfect as it is how old?  :lol:
But it has no cracks or checking and will work just fine.
