It looks like a Megacycle number without the dash after the first 3 numbers... Looked at the catalog but it can't be as numbers starting at 1 are Honda numbers, Kawasaki numbers start with a 4.
I don't have a Norris listing to look up or it could be something unique.
Crower Cams (the car guys) use to grind custom Kawasaki billets for motorcycle racers, they did a Pro Stock cam for Kawasaki under the SBM name (Super Bike Mike) Those have numbers on them like SBM10 etc. but it could be something obscure like that.

So 13042 looks like the start of an OE "camshaft related" part number so maybe this is a "re-profiled" original

Just called Megacycle Cams and they can’t identify either. Thanks for the help so far. Hopefully someone can break the code.

Its definitely aftermarket, probably a custom grind. Do you know the lift?

No, not without buying it. It was found as for sale, I reached out and this is the only reply I have received. I think it’s being sold by an elderly widow.

If its cheap enough why not just buy it? It looks to be a race grind and probably around .460" lift (just by scaling the pic)
Used Z1 cams are still pulling good money, if its not what you need you could probably sell it on.
