i am in some serious need of help. i am super confused about what just happened to me at the dmv. i bought a 1980 (so he says) xs 650 from a guy a while back. he didnt have ownership, assured me its all good. got his address and drivers liscence #. went into the dmv today and gave them the vin. she then tells me the bike isnt in the system. she looked into what bikes the guy has and none match. she said he has a 1981 XJ not xs. but if it was just an error in the model then why wouldnt the numbers match?
i checked the numbers again when i got home and sure enough im right. it is engraved in the streeing head, engine and is written on the sticker on the steering head. the bike is in kmph and i live in toronto, canada so it would seem that its not an american bike.
so all in all, why is it that this vin is not coming up in the computer although i have a frame and engine that clearly have this number. the number is 3u6-001792. please help!!!
