Need the first 5 or 6 digits of your vin and we'll decode it. Or, you can browse through the photo gallery and find one that looks like yours.

 

hi all

the first numbers that i can find is as follows 4kl-001015 .
or the l could be a one or an I


thanks john

 

It's a 1. So you are hte proud owner of a 1980 XJ650G which makes it a Maxim. Sold in OCE what ever country or continent that is.
Frame # starts at 4K1-000101 and goes to 010000 so doing the math I get yours to be the 914th made in/for that country.

 

thanks bluemaxim

you are the best


thanks heaps john

 

OCE -= probably Oceania... Austrialia, islands and New Zealand...

 

Thanks Woot. Since he lives in Australia that makes sense. I just didn't know how to get Aus out of Oce.

 

nup , i googled oce ages ago and its got something to do with pollution control sorted in blocks around the globe [a big dollar organization] ,,, i think i put it up somewhere here on da forums...

 

and hiya johnboy_28 , now it can go in your signiture ...

 

Aussie Aussie Aussie................. Oi Oi Oi..........

ADSL smokes...new fer me .

 

No offence taken Hg , but i born uk , jailed out here , hopefully die in uk and still uk citizen too :lol: ...

Finally,
Well alot can happen in a few moths on the net , a link to all to read about OCE and its implimentation and what it is...

Tis why some m/cycles have different jets and states of tune in different countries ect.

It took me a hour to drag this out , i remember seeing a site soley listed for OCE and who/where and why , it seems to have disapeared , anyways just for info's sake....
