    so what year ???

    Hi

    My dommie is an import and as such the log book shows it as a 2000 model BUT after trying to order some bits it appears it not the right year.

    The TYPE number on the frame plate is RD08 can anybody advise the suspected correct year.

    Thanks

    Andrew

    PS if anybody has a set of forks for the above type then I am looking.

    RD08 is 1995 and later.

    Doesn't the type plate have a year on it? Mine does...

    I thought mine was an 89. It was advertised such, and it even states 89 as the first year of registration on the documentation. After taking the seat off I noticed a label stating NX650J, and as far as I'm now aware the suffix denotes the year i.e J=88, K=89, L=90 and so on (don't know if there's an O though )....

    Could be just some parts that have been recycled, either as standard in the factory, or afterwards...

    There's lots of parts on the bike that weren't made in 1989, or even for the dommie.
