BrysSuzuki Posted May 9, 2022 Share 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 Link to comment
Gixer1460 Posted May 9, 2022 Share 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 Link to comment
TonyGee Posted May 9, 2022 Share 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 Link to comment
BrysSuzuki Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share 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 Link to comment
