When was this VIN produced?
 

When was the bike with this VIN produced: ZD0DM021000008444?

Thanks.

I couldn't find out when my bike is produced - nobody else?

I believe the letter Z is the manufacturing year which is 2010 , hope this helps .

Thanks a lot. However, I realised that the under seat plate says 'Made in Italy'. Does that undoubtedly make it a 2009? Was production relocated to Spain early 2010, or before the end of 2009?

Thanks again.

According to Motorcyclespareparts.eu:
- Model year (not necessarily production year): 2009
- Product Code: 010
- Model Type Code: 11D2

- They don't know the range of the VIN's last five digits for bikes that was produced in 2009.
- They don't know what month production was relocated to Spain (late 2009 or early 2010).

Nobody here with a clue? :Tosser:

Production was moved to Spain in early 2010, March if I recall?

I know for a fact VIN ending 9421 was first registered on 01/09/2009, so yours is definitely an Italian built MY2009 bike assembled some time before September that year.

FYI - the first two characters are the region code ZA to ZR refers to Italy. VS to VW are the Spain region codes and VF to VR are for the French bikes.

Thank you for chiming in on this, Pleiades! Truly appreciated. That settles it :icon_salut:

No worries mate. I would have answered your query earlier, but I've been laid up for a while!

I realised. Sorry for the bad luck, however glad things are getting better. And thanks again for the info.

Bought this bike, in stock condition and with 7,600 kilometres on the clock, south of Frankfurt a Friday this August, and rode it 1,600 kilometres to my home in Norway.

I was positively surprised:

• No surging whatsoever
• Not much vibrations at all
• Comfortable at (for the bike) hight speeds, up to just over 170 km/hour on the speedo
• Comfy with the under-seat cat heating my back-end when the rain set in

However, for comfortability I have purchased:

• A Touratech high seat (thanks to Pleiades who, in another thread, provided general advice to visit this site for Touretech stuff - that saved me more than GBP 100 on the seat)
• 3 cm handlebar risers
• SW-Motech central stand
• Inexpensive soft-bags
• Tool tube and a few other practical bits

As mentioned, have not experience any surging at all. However, would probably enjoy a slightly crisper throttle response. So perhaps one day I'll do the O2-controller/fuel mode and snorkel.

So far very pleased with the bike! :icon_lol:
