About the Kawasaki ZL1000 Eliminator
Start with the Eliminator name, then confirm the ZL1000A application for each repair.
Kawasaki’s 1987 factory parts catalog identifies the ZL1000 Eliminator as ZL1000-A1. That full model designation is more useful for ordering than an Eliminator badge or 1000 cc description. Record it alongside the year and the identity of any replaced engine or chassis assemblies.
Use this ZL1000 page to plan an Eliminator restoration, then follow the ZL1000A model link to narrow the parts. The engine gasket set below lists 1987–1988; the carburetor kit, fork oil seals, brake pads and clutch master-cylinder kit list 1987. Separate the hydraulic clutch control repair from the clutch stack, and check each fitted assembly before selecting its parts.

All selected examples name ZL1000A. Keep the engine gasket set’s 1987–1988 range separate from the 1987-only examples. The clutch master-cylinder kit services the control assembly; it is not a clutch plate kit.
