Find Manufacture date of my bike from Engine/Vin Numbers??

[Ricko19]

I would like to find out the manufacture date of my recently purchased bike (750et) and wanted to know if it was possible to find out from the VIN and/or engine number?

The info on the steering head with the manufucature details is a sticker, not a plate, and the bit with the month/year or manufacture is missing. I'd like to know for my own piece of mind and also club rego. Month/year would be good enough.

Its an American delivered model if this helps (I'm in Oz)

Oh, and is it safe to post ID numbers like this on a public forum?

cheers

Without posting any information, how can anyone answer you??

My guess its a 1981 but thats just a guess. Maybe someone else can figure out what year your bike is.

You could post it in the format GS750X-325XXX. Not sure what someone could do if they had your VIN number anyway.

You could wait and see the responses you get Ricko. There are some friendly folk on here (as I told you on the other forum).

Someone on here will be able to help. You could then send them the VIN via private message if that makes you feel more comfortable. I don't think it would matter to post it here though, but it's up to you obviously.

BTW - Welcome to the GSR, one of the best forums on the net.

You have a 1980 GS750.

Frame: GS75X-500030 ~
Engine: GS75X-100097 ~

After 1981 the 17 number VIN was used on the frame. I can't tell you what month it was made maybe someone else could supply some additional information.
