Where is the engine number located on a step-through motorcycle?
2 Answers
The engine number of a step-through motorcycle is generally located below the left gear lever and above the footrest. In some cases, it may be stamped on the right side of the engine. It usually consists of a combination of 7 to 8 digits and letters. In addition to the above method, the engine number can also be found through the following 4 ways: The vehicle's driving license contains the engine number, usually located on the second-to-last line; The motor vehicle registration certificate will indicate the engine number; The car purchase invoice will indicate the engine number; The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate will indicate the engine number. It is important to note that the engine number is not the same as the engine model. The engine model refers to the specifications and size of the engine within the manufacturer's range, and engine models can be the same. The engine number, however, refers to the production number of the engine, where each engine can only have one unique engine number, and no two engines share the same number.
I've been running an auto repair shop for almost 20 years, let me give you detailed info about the engine number location on underbone motorcycles. For most models, it's stamped on the lower right side of the engine block. You'll need to crouch down and use your phone's flashlight to spot the raised steel-embossed digits. Popular models like Honda Wave and Suzuki Chaly usually have the number on the metal plate above the kick starter pedal. If it's covered in grime, spray some carburetor cleaner - never use sandpaper to scrub, as polishing it off will cause trouble during vehicle inspection. If you really can't find it, the frame number is usually engraved below the steering head pipe, which is actually more visible. For older bikes, pay attention to cast iron engines where rust often covers the number - keeping a can of WD-40 rust remedy handy works wonders.
