Hi John the part numbers refer to a 1988 k5 clutch basket and a 1991 kx250 clutch basket.Ive seen a complete clutch on ebay for a 1991 and just wanted to check it will fit? Ive seen other parts that i think may be interchangeable but as the part numbers differ on the second set of number im not sure?

Hello.
Here is one way to look up parts interchangeability.
As an example, lets say you want to look up the front fender for a 1985 kx500.
1. Go to www.bikebandit.com
2. Under OEM Parts, Click on "Kawasaki"
3. Click on "Off-road"
4. Click on "1985"
5. Click on "kx500"
6. Click on "KX500(KX500B1)US"
7. Click on the tab that says "Body and Fenders"
8. Click on the picture that says "Fenders" under it.
9. Find the BikeBandit.com Part Number. In this case it is 804273.
10. Copy that number and paste it into the "Search bikebandit.com" box at the upper right side of the page, and hit the search button.
11. Scroll down until you see the "Fits Machine" link and click on it.
You will see that the front fender is identical to these:
1985 Kawasaki KX125(KX125D1)US
1985 Kawasaki KX250(KX250D1)US
1985 Kawasaki KX500(KX500B1)US

Repeat these basic steps for other parts.
As a side note, just because no other parts show up that are identical to the front fender does not mean that other parts won't fit.
A color, vendor, or style change will cause a different number to be used.
Hope this helps.

if you look at kwak part numbers they are different because the ring gear on the back is different between the 250 and 500. the kwak basket comes complete. the actual basket is the same. so when you buy an after market basket with no ring gear they sell it as kx 500 88-04 and kx 250 90-91 and you use your old ring gear. hope that helps

If you followed the directs carefully you should see the following.



Click on "Fits Machines"
You should now see a list of all the bikes that basket fits.



That all being said, at times a different part number will also fit but typically there are some differences.

i would say thats pretty clear sandblaster lol. just 1 more thing tunster. you could buy that 91 kx 250 clutch and put the 500 gear on it, but you will have to drill and re rivet which is a pain and tuff to get right. be my advise is not to skimp on clutches with these 500s as they take some hammer as you saw with the last clutch in your bike. buy a new after market basket, rubbers, plates/spring and center bearing. it will pay in the long run
