How to read a Kawasaki VIN number
Kawasaki motorcycle VIN numbers use the same format as car VIN numbers – a combination of 17 characters that can be separated into multiple sections for decoding.Here’s how you read a Kawasaki VIN number.

World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI)
The first 3 characters of the Kawasaki VIN number represent the WMI section that is typically “JKA” or “JKB,” encoding the origin of a vehicle:- The 1st character shows the country in which the motorcycle was built, in this case, J = Japan.
- The 2nd and 3rd characters in the Kawasaki VIN encode the manufacturer. "KA" (sometimes also “KB”) stands for "Kawasaki."

Vehicle Descriptor Section (VDS)
- The 4th and 5th characters in the Kawasaki VIN number refer to the model line and the engine type. This section can have many different variations, e.g., VN = Easy riding, Vee 2 cylinder, water cooled, 4 stroke cycle, or KE = Dual purpose, Single cylinder, air cooled, 2 stroke cycle.
- The 6th character encodes the nominal engine displacement, e.g., within “JKA” WMI, A = 1300 cc (while it can mean “1500 cc” if the VIN number starts with “JKB”).
- The 7th digit is used to indicate styling or feature differences between models or similar specifications as represented by characters 4, 5, and 6.
- The 8th digit, which is usually “1,” encodes the net brake horsepower.

Vehicle Identifier Section (VIS)
The Vehicle Identifier Section consists of the last 8 characters and reveals a Kawasaki vehicle's model year, assembly plant, and unique serial number.
Security Check Digit
The 9th digit, also called a Security Check Digit, is necessary to ensure that the Kawasaki VIN number is legitimate. This digit is calculated using the remaining VIN number characters. If the result doesn’t match the check digit, the VIN number is incorrect or fake. VIN decoders perform this operation during a VIN check.Kawasaki VIN number location
