This kit is the definitive solution for perfecting power valve timing and flow on the Kawasaki KX500 KIPS cylinder. While the factory setup is functional, the inclusion of a base gasket (usually around .020") during assembly lifts the cylinder slightly, creating unwanted axial play and misalignment in the power valve drums. This kit corrects that oversight with precision-machined components that compensate for the gasket thickness, ensuring perfect valve alignment and maximum flow through the auxiliary exhaust ports.

The core of this kit is the two oversized spacers (49002-1093), which are engineered to be slightly taller than the OEM parts. This eliminates the slop the factory overlooked, resulting in a power valve system that stays perfectly centered and performs exactly as intended.


Correcting the Factory Flaw

  • Eliminates Axial Play: The slightly taller 49002-1093 spacers compensate for the lift created by the base gasket, removing the axial "slop" found in the stock assembly.

  • Optimized Port Flow: By fixing the drum alignment, the valves stay perfectly positioned within the auxiliary exhaust ports, preventing flow obstructions and maximizing exhaust efficiency.

  • Governor Precision: Includes a billet-machined governor arm spool (92143-1056) to ensure the mechanical link to your power valve is as crisp and durable as the rest of the system.

  • Full Installation Kit: We’ve included all the necessary snap rings and O-rings to make this a complete, plug-and-play refresh for your top end.

Customer photo review of 1988-2004 KX500 Billet Engine Cases

Amazing!!! Luke is so helpful. These cases are amazing and a direct fit of my old cases. All parts are equally made and not one is below my standards

The best machined pieces I have ever seen. I have wanted a two piece KX500 billet side cover for a long time and can't wait to install it. So trick!

1986-2004 KX500 Two-Piece Billet Side Cover

Very quick shipping, and super pleased with the quality of this stator cover! The anodized black blends nicely with the satin black powder coat on my KX500 engine.

Billet Rear Silencer Bracket | KX500 & KX250

Bearings were a perfect fit. A couple of shaft bearings were on back order, which I reicieved shortly after a majority of my orders arrived. Quality of everything is immaculate I would certainly do business with Luke again. I honestly wish I could have purchased the billet cases for my kx500af build after seeing the precision on the covers and head. Highly recommend TSO

I ordered the case saver for my 98 kx250, the price of the TSO case saver was very close to the same as the original kawasaki one. The difference is huge, The TSO case saver is made of stainless steel for extra strength and great looks. Shipping and customer service was very fast and included mounting hardware. First time I ordered from TSO, but it won't be my last. Thanks TSO for offering a quality part and great customer service!

1992–2004 KX250 Case Saver| 316 Stainless Steel

So the cylinder head is immaculate and performs perfectly with the decompression valve. Much much easier to start this 500cc 2 stroke. I just wish I the decompression valve was coming off the side instead of straight out the top. Decompression valve creates interference taking out the spark plug when everything is mounted and the bike is together. Purchased a new wrench to remove the spark plug and all is ok. Overall happy 😁
