Identification numbers
The frame serial number is stamped into the right side of the
frame and printed on a label affixed to the frame. The engine number is
stamped into the right upper side of the crankcase. Both of these
numbers should be recorded and kept in a safe place so they can be
furnished to law enforcement officials in the event of a theft.
The frame serial number, engine serial number and carburetor
identification number should also be kept in a handy place (such as
with your driver's license) so they are always available when
purchasing or ordering parts for your machine.
