2005 Ecu Vin information. Hi, does anybody know if the vin data is stored on the bikes ecu? Bought a track bike and there is no frame number, i wanna check history. Any info appreciated. |
There is nothing on the ECU regarding the bikes identity.The ecu could be fitted to any bike,....as long as it has'nt been coded to another bike. |

After what happened recently at Brands Hatch - you need to be very carefull with thius new purchase. The Police tiurned up to a trackday and went through every bike, any that didn't have frame or engine numbers or those that had been messed with were impounded and taken away! |
Not all frames have a frame number, as long as there is no marks showing a frame number has been removed or otherwise tamperd with you should be ok, best bet would be to have a word with the local police station get them to look at it for you. |
Called Ducati uk and they confirmed there is no vin stored on the ecu. They did tell me that the number is stamped on the frame and not just a sticker. My concern is from that article. Reply of owner was its a track bike? Still, he has the last 3 owners details including the one from new and a folder of receipts for dealer servicing, valves, belts ect. My point was does Mr stolen vehicle squad plod give 2 hoots who owned it before but if there are no numbers evident its gotta be nicked? |
key point is; no frame number or removed/altered frame number. First one should be ok, 2nd will see it throw in the clink! |

Best advice is to get a frame number stamped on to it and that you do that through your local Ducati dealer. There should be a receipt for the purchase of the new/un-stamped frame in the documents you got with the bike? That way you can clearly show a trail that it is not stolen, etc. |

Chris - do you have any advice for people who have a bike they know has been stolen??? LOL!! |
Mebbe the bike has had a new frame at some stage of its life?I thought that new frames were not numbered?:confused: |
