Hey All! Cool site. Read lots of good stuff already! I just picked up a 1994 KX500 after my 2006 KX250f blew the rod $$$ My question is buddy says it is a 94 but the vin ends with 89 making me think it is an 89 with 94 forks on it..... Any help would be great as I need to order some parts for it....................................... I can give you the VIN # if that would help?  |

89's #'s are 008501-on
92's #'s are 13001-on
94 would start JKAKX....(94-02)
instead of KX500BE...like they did 85-93
