That's because Kawasaki DID NOT make a KDX model in 1977.
The first year for KDX is 1980.
What's the mystery?
KD and KDX are NOT the same bike, only the engine cc is same and they are different in many ways.
KD - 16 hp, metal fuel tank, dual rear shocks, 5-spd trans, etc... typical 70's dirt bike.
KDX - 24 hp with piston reed valve, plastic fuel tank, mono rear shock, 6-spd trans, etc.... becoming more like early 80'sh dirt bike.
How one would scam you or steal your bike if you provide the last 6 digit of your VIN?
I think most people, if not ALL, here are trying to help you, not rob you.

With what you posted that would make mine a 1977 just like what you posted earlier. but my KDX don`t at all look like the 77`s. mine looks like an 80 or 81. could it be possable the vin`s are like the cars and truck starting with an "A" being year 0 and "B" being year 1? if its this way my bike would be an 81. I`ll get alhold of a dealer and post the results in a few days.
Since it was started in 1976, A=6. No chance of it being a zero. Then again, we are talking about a government mandated program.
But A=6.

Looking at a parts fiche I`m convinced its an 81 or 82 and leaning towards the 82. I haven`t had a chance yet you talk to a dealer.
Wouldn`t the alphabet count to be similar to vehicles ? lets just say you had no idea when the first production year was, so when reading the vin number it would be impossible to figure out what year your vehicle actually is. Now if all manufactures followed the same system (witch I think they do) mine would be an 81
