The washer should be on the timing chain tensioner bolt.  It is an oil sealing washer.  Kawasaki part number 92022-077.

In my case I found a metal washer, its thickness prevented fixing the tensioner plunger after adjusting the tension.

In no case did I find a washer of oil sealing material.

On my other KZs the tensioner can be locked by tightening the nut, preventing any teeth from jumping during a strong reduction.

Edit. My bad, good catch. When parts arrive I'll inspect my tensioner to see if washer is metal or fibre or??

I bought a complete engine gasket set that also included the O-rings.
This is the starter motor gasket, it is round.
