Checked
None of the ten X-2 model years verified, which needs a check against the maker's own document, which the row names, and an engine figure; all ten 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.

Model year Engine, as the records hold it Fuel system Strokes Hull type What the record says Source
1986 650 Carburettor Two-stroke Sit-down Ridden either sitting or standing, which is why the hull type here is a simplification. Recorded as sit-down because that is the closer of the two options the record allows. 1
1987 650 Carburettor Two-stroke Sit-down Kawasaki's own parts catalogue carries this machine for 1987 under code JF650-A2. Hull type follows the 1986 row's simplification. 2
1988 650 Carburettor Two-stroke Sit-down Kawasaki's own parts catalogue carries this machine for 1988 under code JF650-A3. 3
1989 650 Carburettor Two-stroke Sit-down Kawasaki's own parts catalogue carries this machine for 1989 under code JF650-A4. Also as for 1987. 4
1990 650 Carburettor Two-stroke Sit-down Kawasaki's own parts catalogue carries this machine for 1990 under code JF650-A5. Also as for 1987. 5
1991 650 Carburettor Two-stroke Sit-down Kawasaki's own parts catalogue carries this machine for 1991 under code JF650-A6. Also as for 1987. 6
1992 650 Carburettor Two-stroke Sit-down Kawasaki's own parts catalogue carries this machine for 1992 under code JF650-A7. Also as for 1987. 7
1993 650 Carburettor Two-stroke Sit-down Kawasaki's own parts catalogue carries this machine for 1993 under code JF650-A8. Also as for 1987. 8
1994 650 Carburettor Two-stroke Sit-down Kawasaki's own parts catalogue carries this machine for 1994 under code JF650-A9. Also as for 1987. 9
1995 650 Carburettor Two-stroke Sit-down Kawasaki's own parts catalogue carries this machine for 1995 under code JF650-A10. Last X-2 code in the catalogue; JF650-A11 does not exist there, and no JF800 code for the later 800 X-2 exists in the US catalogue at all, so that machine was not a US model and is not filled from this source. ⚑ Also as for 1987. 10
