Hi to All,

Got myself a 96 NTV 650 in red earlier this year - it's one owner in red with 40k miles on and a service history as long as your arm!!

I've had many other bikes but there's something very appealing about the NTV - its growing on my by the day

Coming up to MOT time and in the process of doing the fork seals and struggling to establish which of he various models of bike I"ve got  - I found a page listing various letters as model variants with difering volumes / oil levels and would appreciate knowing how to determine which model I've got ?

It may be there's already a thread in here somewhere that explains this in great detail - if so just direct me there

My chassis no starts with JH2RC33AOTM....... and engine no RC33E

Also be keen to know where to source seals  / dust caps etc

Hope you can help me mere

Hi,

According to my trusty Haynes Manual the Frame number you give is for the 650T. Your engine number should be higher than (RC33E)-2600000. This model was available from November '95.

As for parts, I have always found Wemoto to be excellent.

Hope that helps.

David Silver or Wemoto for your oil seals. You can get genuine Honda ones from both. With fork oil seals, prefer genuine to pattern.

From your description, it appears that you have dropped on a good bike. I trust that you'll enjoy many carefree miles riding it.
