Does anyone know where i could order the smokey transparent brake and clutch resivoir set ? I have a 2011 and have seen photos but cant seem to find anywhere on the net . Partzilla, kawasaki parts. Warehouse , dealers no help?

Check out eBay. I believe they’re the 2015+ ones.

The clutch reservoir is $79.17, the brake reservoir is $157.25. O-rings are $2.37

This is who I use, a dealership that does a ton of mail order.

Good looking upgrade. I did mine. Partzilla. Be careful with the screws inside the reservoir.

Thanks for the replies . Im learning the OEM parts are outrageously expensive. But i like the bike looking good.

I can't believe anyone would think the looks of something so minor would be worth spending $250 (at least the OEM) + much work.  But, hey, choices are nice to have!

I was able to find the brake reservoir on Alibabba. I ordered and received and it looks pretty good. Now if I could just find the clutch side! They only offer the Brake side. but it was only 34$. The link today shows it for 28$.

Is that the reservoir or just the cover?  :o

Post by: Oilman on April 05, 2023, 04:30:31 PM

Its the whole reservoir, I actually ordered it and its complete with the screws and o rings. I am trying to figure out if both sides are the same part? Anyone know . For some reason Kawasaki charges way more for one side than the other.

By the way, the right side that is available does come with the rubber diaphragm which runs about $17 from Partzilla , so 33 for the whole unit is a great deal. Now if I could only find the Left side clutch reservoir!
