How to Check the Manufacturing Date of a Motorcycle?
1 Answers
Check the vehicle's conformity certificate, which contains the accurate manufacturing date down to the year, month, and day. Alternatively, look for the frame nameplate that indicates the production year and month. The nameplate is a small black-and-white metal plate riveted to the frame. Its location varies by brand and model, with the first few pages of the owner's manual typically providing its position. Regarding the frame number (VIN): 1. Description: The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique 17-character alphanumeric code assigned to every vehicle, identifying its manufacturer, engine, chassis number, and other specifications. 2. Note: To avoid confusion with numerals 1, 0, and 9, the letters 'I', 'O', and 'Q' are excluded. The 10th character (denoting model year) additionally omits 'U', 'Z', and '0'.
