So, what's the right way to swipe the engine number? Read more in the following review.
1. Definition of Engine Number and Frame Number
The engine number is an identity that is owned by each vehicle. This number is assigned by the manufacturer where the vehicle was made. While the frame number is a series of numbers that comply with international standards or are commonly referred to as VIN (Vehicle Identification Number).
On the frame number, we can find the engine number, year of manufacture, where the vehicle was made, and other important information. In Indonesia, the chassis number or VIN has been adjusted to ISO 3379 which has 3 main provisions:
1. The first 3 digits of the engine number and chassis are the World Manufacturer Identification (WMI), which contains the country code from which the vehicle was made.
2. The next 4 to 9 digits are the Vehicle Description Section (VDS).
3. The last 8 digits are the Vehicle Identifier Section (VIS).
The engine number is located on the engine frame which is generally on the right side of the engine block or cylinder, clutch lining block, and starter on the right side of the motorbike.
As for the motorbike frame number, it is on the inside of the seat or the front of the steering handlebar. The existing location depends on the type and brand of vehicle.
