Product Description
The Genuine Kawasaki 12004-0793 intake valve is a precision-engineered OEM component designed to control the flow of air and fuel into the combustion chamber on FR, FS, and FX series V-twin engines. Its primary function is to open at the correct time to allow the air/fuel mixture to enter the cylinder, then seal tightly during compression and power strokes. Over time, intake valves can become burnt, warped, or worn due to heat cycles, improper clearances, or contaminated fuel. Common symptoms of a failing intake valve include loss of compression, hard starting, rough idle, backfiring, or reduced engine power. Replacing a damaged intake valve with this genuine OEM unit restores proper engine breathing, compression, and reliable performance for your mower or turf equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between 12004-0793 and 12004-0740?
A: 12004-0793 is the updated OEM replacement that supersedes the older 12004-0740. Kawasaki released this updated part number with potential engineering improvements.
Q: What are common signs of a bad intake valve?
A: Common symptoms include loss of compression, hard starting, rough idle, backfiring through the carburetor, or reduced engine power.
Q: Should I replace both intake valves on a V-twin engine?
A: Yes, it is recommended to replace valves in pairs (both cylinders) to ensure balanced performance and compression.
Q: Do I need to replace the valve spring at the same time?
A: While not always required, it is good practice to replace valve springs when doing valve work, as springs lose tension over time. We offer a bundle with the 49078-7002 valve spring.
Q: What valve clearance should I set after installation?
A: Typical intake valve clearance for these engines is 0.006″ (0.15mm) when cold. Always verify with your engine’s service manual.
