vendor ranting

I did a cursory inspection and didn't see it. So, before spending 20 plus minutes combing over the bike I figuared I would just ask. Where do I find the VIN? How do I know what model I have? A-? Bought in Texas - new - '05 KLR650. Thanks

The VIN number is on the sticker on the triple tree (the device that holds the forks and handlebars, among other things) and can be viewed by turning the handle bars so that you can see it behind the cables, right in front of the gas tank. It's a white sticker, so once you spot it, you'll say "Doh!" because it's then easy to see. You have an A19 Romar wrote:

--- Which is why as a businessman, I, for one, will never operate a retail business. I will not subject myself to unreasonable, self- centered people just to make a couple of bucks. We are fortunate these small manufacturers choose to operate in our small little niche. The market for most of these products isn't large enough to interest anyone but small producers. If you don't think these products are a good value then don't buy them. There are plenty of us that will continue to do so, because we judge them very good values, even if we have to sometimes wait for them. And, yes, even if we occasionally might have to pick up a phone and call them. Those aren't what I would call life's major traumas. In fact, most of us probably wouldn't bother mentioning them.
