Year of my bike ?

(1/2) > >>

kiwikx500:
Just curious to the exact year of my bike,have been to kawasaki.com but 96 on can only be looked up,its meant to be a 1990 the id numbers are KX500E-001132 so it "looks to be on the money" Can anyone confirm the year please ? Cheers  8-)

demographic:
As my manual is at a mates with both of my 90 models I can't help you there mate but if your forks are 41mm upside down Kayabas with gold anodised fork legs your bikes a 90.

Before that (apart from one I have seen which was an 89 works KX/SR500 bike so had better suspension anyway) they had right way up forks and the 91-93 model had 43mm upside downers with blue anodised forks.

This is one of mine (the one with the unbroken rear subframe :-() in Supermoto trim.

Cheers,Theres a bigger photo of mine in the gallery,my forks are upside down all silver,a m8 found out his was a 93 when he made the silly move of selling it,but was told it was a 94 when he bought it.

gowen:
What is the VIN number of your bike? The numer you got is the engine # which I could find but not here. The VIN is on the steering head.

Yours looks newer than a 90 anyway, don't trust Bikepics with the pictures of the bikes being the right year as some of the people putting pics on there don't know their arse from their elbow.

Strangly enough they never seem to claim they are older than they are though :roll:
