at the european vin-code must come a letter after kx250... 

A= 1974-1981, B= 1982, C= 1983/84, D= 1985/86, E= 1987 , F= 1988, G= 1989, H=1990/91, J= 1992/93, K= 1994-1998, L= 1999-2002, M=2003/04, RR= 2005-2008 ...

 compared to the engine-number i think your vin-code is : kx250G - 000256  = the 256. produced frame for the 1989-model.
which fork is installed ? a 43mm conventional fork or the 41mm upsidedown? the usd came in 89 to the european kx 250 and 500

Thanks for all the help!
Yes then it seems its an 89!
@ motopunk it has the 41 usd fork.
thanks for the help guys, i have a 09 KLX450R and a 04 kx250r, and this old machine
still puts a cheesy grin on my face when i ride it... 
needs alot of work though, possible carb float issue as it pours fuel out all the time and a few leaks

cant wait to see some pics of the old green rocket...

thanks motopunk, will try post some soon! and you were a great help! that was a G and not a 0 on the vin number, so 100% an 89. much appreciated!
