Frequently asked questions

What is the model name?

Certified Model name - the advertised trade name or commercial Model name that manufacturer applies to a certified Engine or Vehicle.

What is a VIN number?

Just like how each person has a unique ID, each vehicle has a unique VIN that identifies it from all other vehicles. A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique 17-digit code that identifies a specific model of motor vehicle, such as a car, motorcycle, all-terrain vehicle, scooter, or utility vehicle.

What is the structure of the Motorcycle VIN number?

The VIN number consists of three sections:

  1. WMI (World Manufacturer Identifier) - The first three characters of the VIN identify the Original Equipment Manufacturer of the motorcycle, region and the country of origin.
  2. VDS (Vehicle Descriptor Section) - The next five characters provide general characteristics about the motorcycle's make, line or model, type of motorcycle, engine type and net brake horse power.
  3. The ninth digit of the VIN is a check digit, which is used to verify the accuracy of the VIN.
  4. The tenth digit of the VIN represents the model year of the motorcycle.
  5. The eleventh digit of the VIN indicates the factory where the motorcycle was manufactured.
  6. The last six digits of the VIN are the serial number of the motorcycle.

Why the VIN is important?

The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is important for several reasons:

  1. Unique Identification: The VIN is a unique code that identifies a specific vehicle, making it easier to track its history and ownership.
  2. Anti-theft Measures: The VIN can be used to prevent vehicle theft by tracking stolen vehicles and identifying them when they are recovered.
  3. Safety: The VIN can provide important safety information about a vehicle, including its crash test ratings and safety features, which can help consumers make informed decisions when purchasing a vehicle.
  4. Warranty and Recall Information: The VIN can be used to determine a vehicle's warranty status and to check for any outstanding recalls or safety issues.
  5. Compliance with Regulations: The VIN is required by law in many countries and is used to ensure compliance with safety and emissions regulations.

Overall, the VIN is an essential tool for vehicle identification, safety, and compliance with regulations. It provides important information about a vehicle's history and can be used to protect consumers, prevent theft, and improve safety on the roads. It's important to check the VIN of a motor vehicle before purchasing it to ensure that it hasn't been stolen or damaged.

Also, the VIN is used by law enforcement agencies, insurance companies, and other organizations to identify and track vehicles, and it can be used to access important information about a vehicle's history, such as its ownership, accident history, and maintenance records. The VIN is also used by car manufacturers to track vehicles during production and distribution, ensuring that each vehicle is accounted for and properly registered.

Where do I find the Motorcycle, All-Terrain Vehicle, Side by Side or Scooter VIN number?

The Vehicle Identification Number is typically located on the frame of the vehicle. The exact location of the VIN on an ATV or Motorcycle can vary depending on the make and model, but some common places to check include:

  1. On the front part of the frame, near the bumper or the steering column.
  2. On the left or right side of the frame, near the footrest or the engine.
  3. On the rear part of the frame, near the back fender or the rear axle.
  4. In the documents that come with the vehicle.

If you are still unable to locate the VIN on your ATV, consult the owner's manual or contact the manufacturer for assistance.

Why is the World Manufacturer Identifier the most important part of the VIN number?

All WMI codes used by original equipment manufacturers must be registered by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE).

The World Manufacturer Identifier Code, or WMI, is the first part of the Vehicle Identification Number. The code consists of three signs — letters or numbers. The first sign specifies a geographic region, the second one — is a country within that region, and the third one is — a particular Manufacturer. In case a motorcycle, scooter, or ATV Original Equipment Manufacturer has no WMI code, then it is impossible to compose a full sequence of 17 VIN characters for assembled vehicles. No WMI code = No VIN number. A WMI assignment is an administrative procedure performed by a government-based or government-notified institution. Manufacturers do not have the right to assign WMI codes on their own initiative. NHTSA currently contracts with the SAE International (SAE) to coordinate and issue manufacturer identifiers that comply with Part 565 to U.S. manufacturers. In issuing these identifiers, SAE also ensures that the identifiers comply with the requirements of International Standard 3780 for WMIs. A manufacturer that intends to assemble motor vehicles in the United States must obtain a WMI from SAE International. Non-US-based Manufacturers, seeking to achieve the Manufacturer's identification code - WMI, shall address a competent institution in their own country. WMI assignment is based on International Agreements and ISO standards:

  • ISO 3779 - Road Vehicles - Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) Content and Structure
  • ISO 3780 - Road Vehicles - World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI) Code

Here is a some examples of region and country codes - first and second signs of the WMI code, that have been assigned based on International Agreements:
