About the Kawasaki EN450 454 LTD
Carburetor, suspension and engine service for the 454 LTD parallel twin.
The Kawasaki 454 LTD combines a liquid-cooled, DOHC parallel-twin engine with belt final drive. Kawasaki’s parts catalog identifies it as EN450A; some PartsNMore entries use the shorter EN450 name. This page brings those applications together so you can start with the repair and then select the complete model.
Plan carburetor and fork service
For carburetor work, separate worn mixture-screw hardware from the parts needed for a rebuild. For leaking forks, distinguish the oil seals from the dust seals and check the tube condition. The links below help you choose the relevant service parts without combining their different application years.
Know your model before choosing partsKawasaki EN450 454 LTD repair checkpoints
Use the complete model, year and fitted assembly. Each product has its own application and package contents.
EN450 and EN450A
The linked rebuild kit lists EN450A 1985–1990. The separate fuel-mixture screw lists EN450 1986–1990. The shorter catalog name does not erase that year difference.
1985 controls
The brake-lever selection separates 1985 from 1986–1990. Identify the fitted master cylinder before ordering a lever for a bike with changed handlebars or controls.

Identify your model before orderingKawasaki EN450 454 LTD identification checklist
Use the identification on your machine and the component being repaired.
- Read the motorcycle’s model-year label; registration date alone may differ from model year.
- Photograph carburetor markings and the original mixture screw before comparing fuel-system components.
- Record fork-seal markings and measure the fitted fork if its history is unknown.
