VIN number Issue

Post by kelharmassi »

Hi gents

I have an issue with the VIN and I really hope I can get some feedback.

The engraved VIN number In the frame matches the number in the title. But there is also a sticker with some specs and the VIN number in the sticker doesn’t match. I am worried as I shipped it overseas and it will certainly be inspected.

The VIN is supposed to be on the engine block, as well as the frame. Only time I've heard of VIN issues is when the engine block VIN is different from the frame VIN. I believe there is an attachment to the Title, if you do not have that 'rider', you may have trouble, as it is not registered as having a replacement engine installed. Third-hand information, I am afraid. Sorry. Best of luck! Cheers!

Looks like a manufacturing error. Kawasaki is asking for the VIN on the frame and the motor serial number. Do you know where the serial number is located. A picture could be helpful if you can. Really appreciate your help

No idea. I would suggest contacting Carl Leo for better information. He is a retired Kawasaki master mechanic, guru of all things Voyager XII. His information can be found on this site. Here is his e-mail: voyagerparts@bellsouth.net. Cheers!
