Hi,

I have a Kawasaki engine, I have the number off it... I just want to check the year of manufacture, how would i go about this?

You can e-mail Kawasaki UK and they will send you a letter with the information on - It will cost £50 though!

That's how much it was when I asked a few years ago, so I didn't bother.

Engine type?

With a yamaha engine I went into a very helpful local dealer and gave him the details and he gave me a print off of the manufacture details. He was happy to do it as I'd bought a fair few bits from there aswell. Mr iva man was happy enough with it.

this post should help

apparently theres a list of models on the back of the service manual

also this list of model prefixex may help

Pretty sure the Haynes ZX9R manual has a list of engine numbers/years in it.

Thanks very much for your help gents!
