I'm not sure which one it is.
The answer to your question is in the links I posted. To recap, the Z5XXX is the key code. The key cut code is a six digit number used by the locksmith to set up the key cutting machine to cut the depths of the notches. Kawasaki sold key code books that locksmiths used to look up the cutting code based on the Z code. The codes changed each year and were model-specific. Not all locksmiths bought the code books so you will need to call around to find one that did.

I also provided enough info in the links I posted for you to cut your own key if you are handy with a Dremel and have a dial or digital caliper. It's not that difficult and the key would likely be more accurate than a duplicate of your old worn key.
