On the Kawi website for a 1991 KX 500 1.6 the radiator cap 1.6 is 49085-1059. You didn't specify what year yours was but I am pretty sure they are mostly the same rads for most years.

THe part numbers are different for the radiatiors, but you could go on bikebandit and see what a 91 1.6 rad. cap goes for and take a chance.

The part number for a 91 KX 500 is 49085-1059 for a 1.6
THe part number for an 04 200 is 49085-1070. For a 1.1
THe first 5 numbers are the referance numbers as I recently found out, I think that is why you get the same part number. I went to the Kawi website to find the numbers.

No reason to mess with Kaw, Honda or any other dealership/third party motorcycle parts provider.

Go to Napa, Autozone, Schuck's..you name it...and buy a 1.6 cap.

Take your KDX cap with you, match bobbin (where the spring is) depth and diameter.

A good parts store will look at the number on your existing cap and be able to tell you a x-ref to an auto that takes the same type.

A lousy parts store will ask you make, model, and year...and as soon as you say 'motorcycle' the loser behind the counter will give you a blank stare and tell you, 'You have to get that from a dealer,' or some other like tommyrot.

The obvious question is, 'Why do you want a 1.6 cap?'

Using one is kind'a like running a #7 heat range spark plug to help with a plug fouling issue.

Do you know what the '1.1' or '1.6' means?

Thank you Mr. Wizard. :wink:

I'm simply being my helpful, kind and otherwise benevolent self (thass'a joke, son).

The 200 doesn't generally have overheating problems. If it does overheat there is a better chance of some other problem than what a 1.6 is going to do for you.
