A bike's VIN is not legible because paint has chipped away and made it look like it is missing numbers. Dealer is worried about not being able to register it once it's sold.

A bike's VIN is not legible because paint has chipped away and made it look like it is missing numbers. Dealer is worried about not being able to register it once it's sold.

The dealer needs to locate the secondary VIN and ensure it is accurate.

If the bike is from out of state, they can mention it in the Remarks section of the REG 31 document.

However, for bikes registered in California, no additional information is required.
