Answers:
WMI - World Manufacturer Identifier (1,2,3 characters in VIN structure) If the manufacturer builds less than 500 vehicles per year than the third digit is "9".
How do I check my coolent level in my 2002 800cc Valusia intruder?
VDS - Vehicle Description Section. It contains 6 characters (4th to 9th positions in VIN) and defines vehicle attributes specified by manufacturer.
VIS - Vehicle Identifier Section. The last 8 characters of VIN define Year, manufacturer plant and serial (sequential) number of the vehicle.
The last four characters are numeric. The 10th position of the Vehicle Identification Number is the year code.

Whats so great about being born in january?
Engine numbers haven't been of much use to me, as I've never found any documents that 'break the code". I have been told by various manufacturers that the engine codes are simular to VIN's but more specific to manufacturering processes and not very useful to the end consumer.

Every frame or engine number will contain digits and letters that relate specifically to the manufacturer, the model of the bike and the year it was made.They also chuck in a few random digits or letters to make the number harder to copy.
Is this dirt bike intended for children? or is it an adults bike? (read description)?
they should be in your documentsThe parts person needs the frame and engine numbers to identify the correct parts you need. You might have a bike registered in 2005 but it's actually built in 2003, and there may have be changes in those two years. Also parallel imports may have different parts to official UK bikes.
It starts with the make model, then the frame number, then the engine number. each stage narrows down what is the correct part.
Yep, The vin # tells the model ,style, when ,where and what number in the line of production . For example # 100 of 5000 built.
Bike got keyed, how should I fix this?
The VIN will give information about make, model, engine, where built, etc. just like a car VIN. The engine # is different, and only refers to the engine. It will tell the parts guy what variant you have. There could have been mid-year changes or upgrades that will not be identified by the VIN.More Questions & Answers ...
