BrysSuzuki Posted May 9, 2022 Posted May 9, 2022 Hi, I am new here and from the UK Can anyone help please. Any info would be great. Trying to find out what year my newly purchased Suzuki TS50 is. I brought the TS50 for spare parts for my TS50 1998 as the whole bike is the same as mine. The previous owner says it is a 1984 I don't think it is. I don't have any documents like V5 or any history. I have the frame and engine number. Frame number SA11C-113622 Engine number A113-113591 I have tried many online site checkers with no results. Also read that because of the 11 digits it could be a jap import and might not been registered in the UK? Quote
Gixer1460 Posted May 9, 2022 Posted May 9, 2022 Found this below from Bennett's who know a bit about 'faking stuff' for insurance fraud - quite informative but not definitive! So, using the above info the frame number looks correct ie. font / type face and 11 characters seems correct. The engine number though - hmmmmm! The 'A' is clearly wrong, likewise the '1', the '3' and the '9' - only the '5' is about right. This doesn't mean its wrong or nicked or a knock off - dealers had the ability to stamp virgin cases from spares which came without. Quote
TonyGee Posted May 9, 2022 Posted May 9, 2022 Ive had to stamp a few frames that ive fitted under warranty, so that could make someone suspicious as it won't be the same as a factory stamp. Quote
BrysSuzuki Posted May 10, 2022 Author Posted May 10, 2022 Thanks for the replies. I would like to know what year my frame is? Do you know of a online VIN frame checker that will give me the information I am after? If it turns out to be an earlier year, I might try and get all documentation. Quote
