KX500 Motor serial #/year
« on: July 31, 2007, 07:15:50 AM »
Is there any listing (or reference) to find the year of an engine using the engine serial #? I found a kx500 motor that is claimed to be an '02, but I've had no luck with finding the year it was manufactured. The serial # is kx500BE021302.  Thanks

According to my Clymer (M447-3), the numbers KX500BE013001-ON can be model year 91, 92 or 93.
Given yours is a BE02 it's probably 1993.

It's not an '02, from 94 on the numbering starts with JKAKXVE, '02 being JKAKXVEC-2A032001.

   Hey Arnax,
   
       Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure, but I'm thinking your manual is refering to the serial #'s on the frame. I hope.

You're right, I missed the asterisk referring to the 'starting frame number' comment, oops  :-o

Here's a pic of the page:
