VIN Whack
« on: October 23, 2019, 10:19:20 AM »
My 1992 K75RT has a production date of 11/89 when I run the VIN.  Is that possible? Probable? Likely?
Or am I probably misreading those dotted numerals?

greetings...

id getts the vin off the frame... then make sure the title registration insurance match the frame...

what the frame says is what it is supposed to be... butts with the chop saw talent around here could be anything at this point...

It's possible that is the correct production date and the title is wrong; it's possible that you are misreading the numerals.
Photos would help.

I read the VIN.  Last six numbers are 6199096.
I'll try to figure out how to send photos of the VIN. I have them on my phone.

I received the same result when I checked it. Do the numbers on the title match the numbers on the moto?

The engine number could also give a hint.

My brick was built early 1986 (the date varies a bit depending on which site I look up) and the engine number is 104ea 4785 2099,  which means the 47th week of '85. It makes sense that the engine was built shortly before the bike.
