I`ve had a pinky for a while and when I bought it had a number plate with a reg but no V5. The seller said it came with a spare mudgaurd on but couldnt remember for sure.

As I`ve just sold my roadbike and could do with switching my insurance policy to keep my no claims ticking over I would like to apply for the V5 but is this likely to cause problems. Anyone know of a way of checking the reg with the frame numbers to see if they match. I`ve ran a vehicle check with dvla and it comes back as a 91 yam but thats all.

If you have the reg number Yamaha may be able to confirm it for you before you pay DVLA. Yam used to supply dating letters and were very helpful, it may not still be on their records but worth a call. If not just fill in the req'd form and send your

Try getting a hpi report on the frame number?? that might come back with the number plate and then just apply for a logbook from the dvla!!
