compared with sandblasters engine-id´s  it is a 2002... 
but you should call a kx-dealer to find out the exactly year of the bike ..

does it has a green or black tank??

the frame VIN should be on the right side of the frame neck....
the engine I.D. should be right next to the oil filler on the right side of the engine...
if neither of them are there...I'd suspect a stolen bike/parts.

post some pics of the bike.

So I have a VIN/FRAME #JKAKKVE16NA007713
But no engine # to be found
what's peoples thoughts on this?

Frame is a 93.
Engine does not really matter as long as it has all three exhaust valves.
Parts will interchange from 89-04.
