Title: Matching Numbers
Post by: Packman on February 18, 2010, 06:48:22 PM

Here in the uk to register a off road bike you need the frame and engine numbers to match so that you can get a certificate of newness. Ive been restoring my 1988 kx 500 for the road in Super Moto form  :-D, now ive got the frame number but ive only got a 1988 kx250 f1 motor this is becouse a certain wifof the chap i got the bike from disposed
of it in a seperation  :evil: I have mailed kawasaki uk and they want a matching pair of numbers witch i have not got  :-o is there anyway via database or something similar that i can get the engine number to match the frame number so i can get it road registered  :? :?

Maybe by "matching" they mean "correct number sequence" that shows that motor was produced the same year as the frame. Possibly eliminating modified/ unsafely fabricated chasis's. Like doing something crazy like sticking a kx500 in a moped chassis.

the numbers have to be a 'pair'. i recently rang kawasaki uk, gave them the frame and engine numbers which numerically didnt match, but they told me they were a matching pair and sent me a cert of newness. Hope you get sorted
