zxr750boy Posted September 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I'll just check with a main dealer they surely would be able to help. But from your description it does look like an 03. the first couple of digits say 125 does that mean its 125? if it does im Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If yours says VNBS125TR, then maybe it is or was a 125, the motor numbers, top rear behind the output gear should verify. Mine is SH290*****!

trialsnutterman Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 I'd guess that 29 is 290 and 25 would be 250cc VNBS129TR3A0106** was a early 04 model, if that's of any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
