Need year of engine - Z1B kawasaki Motorcycles

Based on the engine number (KX085CE009452), it appears that your KX85 engine is a 2000 model year. Here's how we can break down the code:
KX: Identifies the model as a Kawasaki KX dirt bike.
085: Indicates the engine displacement as 85cc.
C: Represents the year code, with "C" corresponding to 2000.
E: Denotes the engine type (not applicable for determining the year).
009452: Serial number specific to your individual engine.
Therefore, you should be looking for a crankshaft compatible with a 2000 Kawasaki KX85 engine when searching for a replacement.
Search online parts databases: Several online platforms allow you to search for parts using the engine number and filter by year. However, double-check the information with a reliable source before purchasing.

You need one more bit of information!!!
What we have is your engine date code, providing the year of manufacture, but not the "Decade" of manufacture. You will need the Engine Tag/Plate number for additional info.
9K28

• 9 = ninth year of a certain decade
• K = month
  • A = Jan
  • M = December
  • (i is not used)
• Next 2 digits are numbers, hence I think your B is an 8

Your engine was manufactured on October 28, 19x9 to find x you need to ...

Locate the Engine Tag / Plate... (this is for Ford Engines)

• It can be near the coil, where the bolts secure it.
• by/under the oil dipstick tube
• under heat indicator bulb
• under the stud attaching carburetor (this is for larger engines)

There will be a long number on it.
And it will start with an Alpha Character...

• 1st position - Probably not an "A"... but this letter designates the "Decade" in which the engine was built.
  • "B" = 1950's, C = 1960's, etc
• 2nd position - will be a numeral from 0 - 9 and this designates the year (1st to 10th) of the above decade it was built.
• 3rd position - Basic design of the Vehicle
  • example: A - Generic engine, full size, E or T - Truck, L - Lincoln, M - Mercury, and for you car buffs... O - '67-'76 Torino's and all Fairlanes, Z - Mustangs,
• 4th position - Almost always an E - meaning made by the Engine Design Team (which Design Team? Engine design team)
• And the last 4 positions are the part number of that engine

Thanks for coming to fixya

no year? lots of years, no? and lots of 2.5L no>? why not learn what engine you have, 2M? diesel 2J? , 2AR? , 1JZ, 2VZ , 4VZ,2MZ
3gr, 5GR. we can not guess engines. not now , not ever.
what year, what engine, gas or diesel.
that is the first when taking cars, after all even Toyota parts
guy says the same thing,for same reasons.
or post the VIN.

new seals are for sure needed

alldata.com log and and read, its there.

torque varies by engine,

I don't understand the numbers that have been included with your question or your question. Do you already have a engine and are wanting to know the year it was manufactured?

you need repair manual to see crankshaft sprocket and the camshaft sprocket timing marks.

The frame number is the Vehicle Identification Number. If the engine is the original engine, then the engine is a 2004. If it is not the original engine, the engine numbers will not identify what year the engine is. The only identifier is the frame number. Engine numbers are useless.

I can help! Are you doing a N/A to turbo swap? Or just engine for engine? Mostly year for year will be the same...JDM or USDM. Depending on year...My first suggestion would be to go to Toyota and buy the 2 Big Green Books for your year. They have FULL wire diagrams amongst COUNTLESS things you will need to know. 2nd...I would go to MR2 tech .com...They have most of the pages of the BGB there. Anything you need let me know! Ive done many swaps in the 2nd gen. Good luck!

DEPEND ON WHAT YOUR ENGINE DISPLACEMENT IS.IF YOU HAVE A 1.9 ENGINE IT WILL GO BACK TO YEAR 1998 TO 2000.THE 3.0 ENGINE WILL GO FROM YEAR 2000 TO 2005.

Many years will fit as this engine is an old one that has had minor internal mods over the years. If you want to keep the same performance you need to stay close to your model year.

You can call your local Kawi dealer and order a engine part (like the alternator or clutch assembly) based on the code you have and they will tell you what year it is.
