Hey name Clint just thought I'd introduce myself and ask for a bit of advice. Just bought a klx 250 told It's a 2008 model im pretty new to riding itself how do I tell what year bike It is I've seen info on 2007 and 2009 bikes but nothing on 2008

 

Not sure where you are but don't beleive they made one in MY 2008. VIN on frame 10th digit will tell you the year. 2007 10th digit is a 7, 2008 10th digit is an 8 ect...

 

Welcome to the forums!

 

It's my understanding that they were still manufactured in 2008, just not sold in the USA (or Canada).

For Example, I have a 2011 KLX250s - I understand that in 2011 the KLX250s was NOT sold in the USA (sales were too slow there, and there was lots of 2010's left in stock), but was sold in Canada. It looks, so far, like 2015 might be the same, but for USA and Canada, as I haven't seen a 2015 KLX250S on the US or Canadian Kawasaki sites.

 

Does your bike have analog or digital instruments? The 2009s were for sale in North America in 2008.

 

Thanks for replies it's all digital display so I'll check Vin number when I get home

 

Then it's the 09+ model.

 

I'm from Australia nsw 10th number Is a 9 so I guess it's 2009 model. now that's sorted I can start working through a few of its problems now
