hey here is an easy way to know what any kawasaki is by vin # . just go to www.kawasaki.com then follow the link for owners page then to recal info and put in the vin # it will tell you what it is and when the waranty ran out, take off 6 months and you will know when it was bought. i ran both of yours threw and they are as we all figured 85's 1st ones waranty ran out on 4-02-86 2nd one on
7-26-86.
