- None of the three 1100 STX model years verified, which needs a check against the maker's own document, which the row names, and an engine figure; all three name a source below.
Kawasaki numbers name the engine by its size class and are not measurements: a 550 is a 531, a 650 a 635, a 750 a 743.

| 1999 | 1100 | Carburettor | Two-stroke | Sit-down | Kawasaki's own parts catalogue carries this machine for 1999 under code JT1100-B2. | Source 3 |
