I don't think it will be in three places, but it is typically in one of
three places, maybe that's what he meant. It will be stamped into the
engine cases, or attached to them (metal tag riveted). Likely spots are
near the starter and clutch cover, near the bottom of the clutch cover
(the part with the sightglass), or somewhere near the sprocket. I'm
drawing a blank on where it would be for a GSXR, which is kinda
embarrasing cause I should know. If you're having a lot of trouble
finding it let me know and I'll ask a friend who WILL know.


I will call him back tomorrow with the vin number. He said that if the
engine is stolen, they would be interested (and, I suppose, take it off
my hands), and if it is not stolen, they would not be interested.

I will check it out tonight. Maybe will make better pix, also. Thanks.

Check the right side of the crankcase. You are looking for the engine's
serial number, not the VIN.

I hope this helps.

OK. I set the engine vertically and looked quite closely. No trace of
the VIN number. I do not want to detective to come to my home. I need
some real urgent help on where may the VIN be located. Thanks.

You may want to search Google for "GSX-R" GSX" "GSXR" and forums message
board, etc. Someone that actually owns a GSX-R would be much better help
than me. For now, with the exhaust pointting forward, and you looking
forward like you are riding the bike, that is considered the right side in
bike descriptions.

I need a vin number. Not the engine serial number.

The only place you are going to get a VIN is from the frame tag that is
either mounted on the left side of the steering head or on the left side of
the lower frame...well, that's where almost all bikes have the VIN, anyway
