According to KT's manual,

Frame number GK76A-100001 onwards is RL model
Frame number GK76A-103110 onwards is RM model
Frame number GK76A-105595 onwards is RN model

According to a website (Take note it's manufacture year, not registration year)

1990 ~ L model (aka RL)
1991 ~ M model (aka RM, RFM, RFNM)
1992 ~ N model (aka RN, RFN)
1993 ~ P model (aka RP, RFP)
1994 ~ R model (aka RR, RFR)
1995 ~ S model (aka RS, RFS)
IF ITS P MODEL THATS 93 BHP? THAT WOULD MEAN MINE HAS WRONG SPRAG CLUTCH AND NOT MIKED THESE CAMS UP YET BUT THEY LOOK DIFFERENT AGAIN REAL BIG DROP OF ON THESE
