its a zx9b, between model b1 from 94 to b4 in 97.

a frame number would limit this down to a specific year. frame numbers start zx900b on this model, the number after indicates the age:

0 - 18000 is 94
to 28k is 95
to 38 is 96
38 onwards is 97.

HTH, Joel.

Have you got a printer


keith - 23/1/05 at 08:15 PM

yes thanks,got good printer,have you got kawasaki headed paper?

im guessing that you could compare the number to other engines of known age, or maybe ask kawasaki to link it up to a chassis number.

If you get the haynes manual, it has a list in the front giving engine/frame numbers and years. Maybe the SVA nazis will accept that as proof. depends which way the winds blowin' on the day.

cheers joelp, i think all routes point to kawasaki,especially if we need written proof,cheers keith.(bloody cats worst thing never put on bikes)

cheers wadders,seen this but didnt think it was specific enough for pre 95 no cat,still if no joy from kawasaki might just book it in and blag it,f--k em.cheers keith.
