Here is a bonus page from this issue. It breaks down what the 17 digits in a Kawasaki VIN represent.

If the 12th digit of the 17-digit VIN on your Kawasaki is a "5" that means it was assembled at the Lincoln, Nebraska plant. (this does not apply to older models with shorter frame numbers)

Often when writing a service order and came to this "5" I would ask the bike's owner if they knew that their bike was built in the USA. Most times they had not known and were happy to find that out.

Thanks for looking. Gary  /  kawasaki-yama-zuki
