Still searchin.............................. I know i posted this wayyyyy back just have to dig

I think ive found it on the engine lemme double check.

 

[Xero]

Should the engine number be the same or different to the number on the frame? also how many digits should it be?

Much different the frame numbers should start with YJ**************

 

[slickerthanyou]

I cannot find the engine number decoder..X(

Just reading through the manual, the reason my frame number looks dodgey compared to yours lot is because yours are American/Canadian.. mine are from different places, Japan i would imagine?

 

[Xero]

so does anyone know where i can work out the year of my blaster with a non ameriacn/canadian vin?? thanks
