Hi Fellas,

I've just picked up an ex race NC30 that has been gathering dust in some ones shed for the last five years, I'm just about to start rebuilding it with a view to racing again next year and wondered if anyone knew how I can find out the correct model year, the bike has chassis and engine numbers it has been a road bike at some point as I hpi'd it on the chassis number and it came back as a Q plate, hope some one can help.

Cheers.

Doesn't the Haynes manual identify the year for chassis and motor according to the first number of digits?

Sure does, PM me the details if you don't have a Haynes and ill look it up for you.

Cheers
Haydn

Thanks Haydn, sent you a pm.

My PM is not working, message is still sat in my outbox. Your bike is a 1990/1991 L model grey import. Carb ID if still standard is VDE3D A.
