I noticed some obvious differences between my 1990 and 1993 kdx200's. For example, the front fork tubes on the 1990 are standard and on the 1993 they are usd/inverted forks. When I look at the parts fisches, it shows the upper and lower fork clamps as being the same part/description# on the '90 and '93. #44039 (upper fork holder) and #44037 (lower fork holder). The front hub on the 1990 also is different from the 1993. But, the parts fisches list the front hub assembly part# 41034 as the same hub for both the 1990 and the 1993. Is it just something I'm doing wrong when searching or are these parts fisches wrong?

Sounds like your 93 is in fact a 94 or someone has done a fork swap on it
Did you check the year by VIN ? The 10th digit tells you the year


What colour at the forks ?

93 and 94 both had blue 41mm USD forks.

yes, the '93 and '94 did have usd forks. The USD/ inverted forks on the '93 and '94 are much thicker at the top where they clamp into the fork clamps, so why would that part be listed as the exact same part as a '90 kdx200 fork holder in the parts fisches? Front wheel hub is obviously different too as I stand here looking at them. But, once again, front hub assembly is described as the exact same part on a 1990 as whats on a 1993 in the parts fisches. It doesn't make sense to me. check out bike bandit or something to see what I'm talking about:

here is a 1990 kdx200 parts fisch - notice the fork holder upper and lower description #44039 and 44037- it even shows it next to a set of standard forks.

here is a 1993 kdx200 parts fisch- notice the fork holder upper and lower description #44039 and #44037 - and it shows the USD/inverted forks

I found other parts that should be different as well but are listed as the same part?

You are NOT looking at the part number, you are looking at a "reference" number, which is usually the first 5 numbers of the 9-digit part number. You are seeing 12345 instead of 12345-6789.

Sometimes the first 5 digits indicate a certain style of part, such as 92015 for a nut, 11009 for a gasket and such.

Look up "Kawasaki 44039" on google and see a ton of different "fork holder" parts.

Try using a different site. Service Honda, for example, will show the full part number in the list below the illustration (and they have good prices too) they are also a Kawasaki (among others) dealer.
