what year is my kx 125

[JaVe]

Hello,

having a bit of issues with my new bike nobody even kwak dealers here in holland can tel me what year my bike is.
the al say 94 or 95 but i want to know exactly because i'm going to ride the pre 95 class next year and you only can compeet with bikes made till 1994.

the bike is sold new in 2000 (from the crate) the guy who bought it ride it 2 years and when he wanted to change the piston he lost the cilinder   .

i bought the bike 3 weeks ago with the nolage it was a 94 model the guy even bought a 94 cilinder with the bike for with the sale.
when i got home and started to google on 94 bikes i noticed that the bike was a 95 model ( seat decals and in the wheels stated 7-94)

went to a kwak dealer and geve him the frame number he said its a 94 so i was happy again but also confused.

i tryed to get information of the bikes (94/95) but theres not much on the net.

so maybee one of you guys can help me with this issue.

the frame number is kx125k 003642
the engine number is  kx125 007362
the carb number is G167 A1H6

thanks in advance JaVe.

Unfortunately those are non USA numbers for the VIN and the Frame.
On the carb, here is a pic of the 94

Here is a pic of the 95

Neither match your carb number.
On your cylinder should be a 4 digit code.
Can you tell me what it is?

OK, I just figured out Kawasaki's carb codes for the USA 
Your carb number is in between a 95-96 in the USA.
95 is 095
96 is 203
It does not correspond to any kx250 carb either  
But, the cylinder code should help.
1720 = 1994
1752 = 1995
1794 = 1996
1840 = 1997

A quick google search netted this result:

Looks like a 95 but I would still check your cylinder number.

JaVe,

Here in the USA the 1994 KX125 came with a 15mm wristpin & the FLATTOP Piston, the 1995 KX125 also had the 15mm wristpin, but came with a DOMED Piston. If you have the original piston, this might lead to what year the bike is. The Graphics of the 94 model was purple with a pink color mixed in & the Seat was purple with a lighter purple splash at the rear.

Hope this might help!

Thanks sandblaster,

so you think it is a 95 kx 125.

the problem with the cilinder is because the guy lost the cilinder in the past the bought another cilinder with the number 1720 thinking he had a 94 bike so i have got a 1994 cilinder ( i hope it fits).
i have checked the carb diameter because the 94 was 36 mm and the 95 35mm and my carb states 35,89mm so it is a 36 mm so it is a 94 carb do you see the confusion i'm in right now.

Doldguy  thanks for the info but the bike is on the outside 95 model purple seat and the year 7-94 in the wheels.
i don't have the original piston and cilinder because the first owner lost it

hope this helps you out a little...

the 94


the 95



and here's the whole 125 list...as you will see, only the 94 and 96 had purple seats from the factory.

Thanks Foxxf4beaver.

it looks like the 95 model but the seat is purple and on the picture the seat looks blue, ore is that because it is a usa bike.

[DoldGuy]

The 95 Seat was Purple....

[Foxx4Beaver]

the seats are interchangeable on those models....so someone else could have thrown on a different seat.

The 95 Seat was Purple....

when I bought my 95 KX250 brand new, it had a blue seat.

[JaVe]

i'm beginning to think i have got a 95 model.

is it possible to swap cilinders let say to put a 94 cilinder on a 95 engine.

You can also check the cylinder HEAD.....if the squish band is flat it should be a 94, if the squish band has an angle to it then its a 95 or later model. The 94 model kicked the 95 models A$$, the 94 Model came with the Original size 36 PWK Carburetor & the 95 Model was the first year of the new small 35 PWK which (if memory serves) had 4 overflow vents & the 94 only had 2 vents.
