Stuck fuel cap

Thanks, that's a really early production for an ET model, if you can still read the VIN label on the steering head it would probably show date of mfg as late 1979 or early 1980.

What is an X registration, not familiar with that term?

David.

Hi dave sorry for some reason I have put in the time zone wrong when I signed up to the forum and seem to be talking to all Americans which isn?t a problem for me to be honest but an x reg is the year the bike was registered in the uk I am in Scotland and to be honest an x registration should be 1981 but I don?t know if it?s because it was registered in may it?s 1982 I have checked the registration document again and it doesn?t give that info just when it was first registered but I would imagine it would be 81 but you have me intrigued now I need to get over to my garage and check the vin number I will get back to you on this when I finally get over but may be a while

And sorry the x Reg probably explained better as the uk used alphabet letters for the year ie three letters then three numbers then the x for 82 or y for 83 or whatever then when they got through all that they put the letter at the start of the registration number confusing yes I know but my bike is registered as GAS 158 X like on the number plate I hope you understand what am on about

I?m sure there?s nothing wrong with whatever time zone you put in. Although there probably are more Americans in here, we really have folks from every country on here and benefit from everyone?s wealth of knowledge. It?s one of the biggest reasons I like this forum. However, just based on the sheer presence of us in the states and Canada, remember most of us will not know how England does their registration. I do remember from my time there but I also know the lettering is recycled so keeping on it is hard. What letter are you on this year?

Please let us know what you find when you return.

The March number plates are the year, while the September plates are the year plus 50. So, from 1st March 2021 new cars will have 21 in their number plate, while new car registrations from 1st September will have 71 reg plates.[/COLOR]
