APE ZX-12R SPRINGS

APE , a leading supplier of high performance valve springs, now offers a spring for the Kawasaki ZX12.

The APE spring is made from special chrome silicon material and installs in the motor at 55 lbs seat pressure. Travel to coil bind is .570”. This allows the use of cams up to .520 lift.

For comparison, the oem spring has 35 lbs of seat pressure, and will ‘coil bind’ at .410” which would limit cam lift to about .360”. The extreme progressive design of the oem springs does not allow it to respond to shimming for more pressure.

  • The APE springs are a direct fit with oem bases and retainers.
  • APE fully CNCed titanium valve spring retainers are also available.
  • APE valve spring part#VS1200K Racer $103.48
  • APE valve springs and titanium retainers are available for a wide variety of applications from street hot rods to NHRA pro stock.


Available from all leading distributors, or direct from APE.
