Kawasaki Engine Serial Number Decoder

Image Library; 1983: KDX200-A1: 200: 1: Green: DX200AE000: 1984: KDX200-A2: 200: 1: DX200AE003001--007400: 1985: KDX200-A3: 200: 1: DX200AE008401--on: 1986. ATV VIN number charts and information to help you search for and decode your ATV's VIN. Every sport ATV has a 17 digit VIN (vehicle identification number) even if you need to search for the ATV VIN location a little. You'll find the VIN plate mounted to the frame of the ATV, usually on the bottom left side. Jun 20, 2017  My husband bought a Kawasaki engine off of someone that had it in a wrecked 4 wheeler; however, we only have the engine number for identification since we don't have the original motorcycle frame. The engine number is ZXT00AE051024KH1; can anyone help us figure out exactly what year Kawasaki motorcycle that this came out of?

Every once in a while we get a post asking if you can tell the model year of an engine from the engine number. Well, Kawasaki doesn't give out this information, as it would allow people to figure out their sales figures, which are confidential. However, one can observe and write stuff down. This is an unofficial list put together from experience and physically verified by AP.

There’s no guarantee that this list is 100% accurate, but these are pretty solid numbers, obtained by comparing VIN and engine numbers. The engine numbers are sequential, so there is a start and end range. Keep in mind that the engine number only dates the case, since the other parts could have been changed. But this is usually very unlikely.

There are casting marks on various parts of the engine that give the year they were made. The head and valve cover have these markings, and the engine case halves do, too. The complete engine number is just in one place: the rear right side of the crankcase, above the grounding bolt.

There is a little start and end data missing here, but that should only put some of the list off by one model year for those years in which little information is available (early 1987, 1989, 1997, and 2000).

EX250F

The same engine was used in these bikes:

  • EX250- E/F/G/H
  • EL250- A/B/C/D/E/F
  • KLE250- A

The question marks on the end of the numbers are the sequential numbers that give the exact engine number. Since the same engine was used for years, the exact digit in this part of the engine number isn’t critical.
