VIN number question.

    Hi there

    I'm trying to decipher a VIN Number on a bike I'm looking at here in OZ and there is one letter that could be a G or a C.

    From what I've researched:

    C stands for Regular introduction date/HDI calibration  or and I'm leaning towards this of course

    G stands for Regular introduction date/AUS calibration

    and I'm assuming the reference to calibration has to do with the ECM?

    Please correct me if I'm wrong. :)

    Cheers

    It it's a 1HD vin then it's a Yank "domestic spec" model

    If it's a 5HDI then it's an international spec model

    (More than likely Australian from new )

    However there are more than a few grey imports that have come out of Japan and they are 5HDI same as the Aussie bikes

    They have different gearing / sprocket teeth numbers etc etc , but that would be hard to spot .

    However it's unlikely a 2012 ex-Japan bike is here so soon , usually they're 5+ years old on import
