Is which , I have a 1999 XRV750X @ the log book says Frame RDO7 Engine RD04 .Which number do you use for the model ??.fw600vj

Frame number. You have an RD07. Under the seat will be a label giving you the full code and colour code. I think mine is an XRV750X (2000 model, one careful owner) as well. This is good enough to get spares with. But I could be wrong....I have Bet Lynch type handlebar muffs and am therefore slightly sus.

Yep it's the frame number. According to my Haynes manual all AT engine numbers begin RD04 - thought I'd got an earlier engine in my '94 - the suffix letter (in Yen's case X) changes each year. My '94 is an XRV750R, '95 is an S, and so on.

By the way Yen, I don't think it's strictly legal to use the words "Bet Lynch" and "muffs" in the same sentence.

Once maybe when she was a national treasure I would have agreed. However after seeing her f-ing and blinding on the back of an elephant, she's lost some of the magic......

You must have led a sheltered life Mr. P.; elephants, racy language,...that just sounds like part of the normal Manchester mating routine I feel faintly aroused
