sammyd173 Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Two hours at the DMV only to be told that my VIN # doesn't pass muster because the 10th digit is an 'E', which according to them was only for the 1984 and 2014 model years (they're right). My bike is a 2004, hence the 'E'. 2004 in North America was a '4'. The Gas Gas Vin decoder shows the 10th digit as being a letter, so that's consistent. Bike has never been registered which may also be part of the problem. I have to take it to CHP but I'm sure they're not going to have any of it either unless I can furnish some solid evidence of the Gas Gas system. Anyone else run into this?

lineaway Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Seems I remember through the rumor mill that the importer had to re-do the vin for cali bikes. Did your bike come from another state? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyd173 Posted September 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 I don't have the history on the bike, unfortunately. Part of the reason it was only $1,900. At least there is no record of it being stolen. I guess I'll just not register it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazybond700 Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) Actually there should be an E for 2004: TRIAL MODEL CHASSIS NUMBERS 1993~2003 Example: VTRGG 2800 0200 9955 VTR = International manufacturers code. VTR = GasGas GG = Trial model (Company code to identify model EC = Enduro & MX, FS = Four Stroke, WD = Quads) 2800 = 280 model, year 2000 0200: 02 = Manufacture month. (2ND month) February. 00 = Year of manufacture 2000. 9955 = sequential chassis number (9,955th built in this year.) 2004 and newer (after July 2003) Example: VTRGG 3002 D093 9955 VTR = International manufacturers code. VTR = GasGas GG = Trial model (Company code to identify model EC = Enduro & MX, FS = Four Stroke, WD = Quads) 3002: 30 = 300 model. 02 = (02 = year of Europe homogulation N/A USA) D093: D = 2003 ALPHA CODE FOR MODEL YEAR. 09 = Manufacture month (9TH month) September. 3 = Year of manufacture 2003. 9955 = sequential chassis number. (9,955th built in this year.) “Alpha” model year codes Model engine size codes D = 2003 J = 2008 12 = 125cc E = 2004 K = 2009 20 = 200 model (175cc) F = 2005 L = 2010 25 = 250cc G = 2006 M = 2011 28 = 280 model (272cc) H = 2007 N = 2012 30 = 300cc Edited September 27, 2014 by crazybond700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) I believe Gas Gas goes by Iso 3780 standards and California goes by North America standards. Cali dmv is just not smart enough to recognize the Europe standard. Edited September 27, 2014 by lineaway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyd173 Posted September 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Thanks for posting Crazbond.
