well your frame design is pre 90 anyhow ! and according to the kawasaki files the KDX250 was dropped in 1994.

the attached pics are KDX250B4 ( 84-90) & KDX250D1 (90-91) check the difference ! plus having worked in a kawasaki dealership around that era i've see a few.
plus because its water cooled doesn't mean its young, kawaski intorduced water cooling on its KX moto-x bikes in late 1980 early 81 & if i remember right they dropped the air cooled KDX in 84-85
either way its still a good bike! and as a reality check most of the enduros of the 80s were a hell of a lot better than their younger siblings ( engines were more fun & more could & can be done to them! )
