I immediatly went down and got pics for u guys lol.. Here they r..






What you guys think?

 

I don't understand why you are asking the same question....

The number that you keep bringing up that starts with the LX250....is the engine number.

The frame number, aka VIN is a 17 digit number that is usually stamped on the frame where it contains the steering head bearing. The 10th digit indeed is the year. Trust me on this.

In the last photo you posted, to the right of the sticker is the VIN stamped into the frame. It starts from the bottom up.

"That number" is the same number you are referring to FM. Look at the 2nd to last pic, same LX etc etc number.

 

Yeah thats it.. Its wierd :S

 

I just looked at your profile and realized you are in Sri Lanka. The 17 digit I was talking about is a US thing. The number that is stamped on your frame is what is known in the US as the engine number.

 

Ah okay.. Thanks for the help anyways people..

 

Just in case anyone is trying to find information from non-US VIN in the future you can use the Japanese Kawasaki recall info site below:

It will show model year (and any recalls that apply as well...).
Google translate is your friend.

 

new klx owner here, my frame number is LX250D 000 565 so what year & model mis mine then? most confused

 

Year model and manufacture dates are not always the same. The date of manufacture is frequently the year before the model year since they have to be built ahead of time. Since it takes months to get the bikes built and in the "pipeline" for sale. I sold a whole lot of bikes that were made in October-December of the year before the model year. I.e. a 2014 may have a date of manufacture of November 2013.

The truly important date is the model year, not the year of manufacture. Other than that the next important number would be the serial number if there is a change of parts mid-run.
