I google searched your VIN and this listing came up. Bore and pipe certainly looks like a 300. Is this your bike? https://www.riggsoutdoor.com/invento...72209-2151896i

Just behind the gear shifter there is a polished spot. it will either say ec20= 200cc, ec25= 250cc, or ec30=300cc

VIN decoder Q:
Hi folks. Got a bit of a dilemma with the DMV in the great state of Komiforna.
Trying to title and register a 2005 Pampera with a VIN of VTRPP2800E0***** The "E" in the 10th character denotes a 2005 model year per GasGas logic. According to CA DMV that is either a 1984 or 2014 per their understanding. They are requiring me to take the bike to the Highway Patrol office for examination. What is the chance that the CHP officer won't know the GasGas rules of VIN designation? Pretty good in my opinion. Thus causing more confusion... Is there a "GasGas" document that I could copy or get a hold of that I could take with me to the inspection that would explain in official terms gasgas's use of VIN codes? I do have the original New York title stating the bike was sold new in 2005. CA knows it all and rather stubborn to admit when they are wrong or ignorant. Thanks for any suggestions or help. Cheers, Jeff |

Jeff.
Tell them that they are not "wrong", but that the book has incorrect data. Then explain that the problem stems from the Spaniards at GasGas who always felt that they knew a better way of doing things; only coming around in 2002, when they used a "C" for the tenth digit to denote that that was a 2002 model, and each subsequent year had a successive letter, making your 2005 have an "E" for a tenth digit. If that doesn't work, then ... Maybe print out a post from the forum that says this. or Maybe they would accept a statement from a dealer as the proof they need. I'll write you a letter, if they will accept something from a former dealer. Good Luck and Good Riding! Jim .

VIN Stickey
Thanks Jim for your thoughts. I really doubt our local DMV would accept
a copy of a forum post as proof of fact. It's possible, but, I also have doubts that a letter from a former dealer would hold much weight either. Unless it was on an official "letter Head" type form or an MSO. That might convince them. A couple months ago when I trailer'd the bike to DMV. I did not have the original NY title with me. Old GF Betsy still had it. I may go back and see if the guy remembers me and would change the form or do a re-VIN inspection with the correct manufacture date. Worth a try. Otherwise it is 3-4 months wait to get an appointment with the CA. Highway Patrol. They are "official" inspector in CA whenever there is confusion at the DMV. The last, and possibly best option, would be to have Betsy sign a DMV bill of sale transferring the existing NY title, (with her Signature on the back) over to me. Then proceed with the title and bike in hand back to DMV. Cheers and it's good to see that you are still around. Too bad the era of ID. SpodeFests have come to an end. Jeff |

Hi guys I've recently bought myself a gas gas 300 ec 2010 but when I've got it home and done a full inspection I'm lead to believe it's a gas gas 250 ec, I'm also trying to find out the year to see if it is actually 2010
The VIN is VTREC2530M0706 (I Havent posted last 3 numbers of vin) Any help would be appreciated |

I just bought a Gasgas 280 txt pro and is uncertain if the person selling it knew the right age on it. According to what I managed to search up my bike is a 2001 and not a 2006 as he claimed.
Vin is VTR GG 280 211010166 Letters indicate a gasgas that much I understand and then 280 for the cc. But rest I?m not so sure about. |
