Can anyone confirm that the 2000-2001 ZX12R uses the same engine mounts as the later models? Ie will an engine cradle from one year fit both?

Thanks chaps and chapesses.

I think the early ZX12R used two front mounts and the later used a single central front mount.

Above is correct

Hi the a series zx12 2000 2001 are same rear mounts as the b series 2002 onwards the front mounts are different early ones have 2 mounts above 1 and 4 exhaust port the later have a single above 2 and 3 ports but BEWARE kawasaki are always registering early bikes on late reg numbers so always check engine not year of bike iv had 05 reg bikes that were really 00/01 reg with 00/01 engines in them

Malc,

are you sure they're 00/01 engines in 2005 frames? I thought they changed the ZX12R front mounts back to the original twin configuration in 2005.

I used a 00/01 front mount frame on my B model zx12 I just think the thread size was different,
