If you're careful, the rubber gasket on the engine top end cover is very reusable. Just need some high-temp silicone sealant to glue it back down to the lower casing when you're done.
Just in case you still want the gasket info though, here's a link to a parts fiche with the right part on the page. It's the bottom gasket, Kawasaki part number 11061-0282

Use FIPG for that rather than silicone. Yamabond-4 (not 5), Hondabond-4, Permatex Ultra grey, Toyota black, etc.

i recently ordered the entire gasket set for the valve cover myself along with one float valve needle and it came to $140 CAD.... ridiculous.... Something terribly terribly wrong with that... A bit of lube would have been nice.

Finally looked at my adhesive and it's the Toyota seal packing #103 I've used with my Tacoma as well. Skip - sorry for the poor choice of words. Hope I didn't lead ya wrong.

I also apply a little when re-using gaskets. Tighten bolts to 25-50% torque and let sealant dry and cure for couple hours. Then torque to final spec. |

I went through the local stealersh*t... They bend me over every time I see them. I try my best not to ever go there for anything but I was in a rush. Turns out I'm replacing that motor anyways so its of little importance to me now. I guess I have a spare set... I didn't need at rip off prices.
