    It is the last four digits of your VIN #. However the Premier editions which were the first ones built had the Premier Edition # inscribed on a plate in the handlebars. These units I believe were all built in 2007 and titled as 2008 models. The regular 2008 and later models which started production in 2008 do not have this designation.

    Check your Vehicle Registration, there should be a block for the Model #.

    On your VIN# sticker on the right side of your swingarm, you wll see both the model designation and the VIN#.

    IdahoMtnSpyder: Does the spyder have a model # or Serial/sequence # when the spyders come off the production line?

    Example: # 1, 2, 3, etc.

    The reason why I am asking is I filled out a Oil Analysis form they are asked what the Unit number is.

    Mine is on the left side sitting on it. Directly under the passenger foot peg on the frame. That’s for the 17 RTL.

    Not Idaho, but That'll be the VIN - the Vehicle Identification Number is a unique code, including a serial number used by the automotive industry to identify individual motor vehicles; detailing their production date, order/sequence, model specs, option info, when, & where they were manufactured/came off the production line. Other's have outlined where they found their VIN.

    That said, for many vehicle fleets, ie. all the vehicles owned by one owner/company &/or held or maintained at one site, the company may assign a Unit Number that is usually a lot shorter than the VIN which is still a unique identifier for THAT vehicle owned by THAT company/at THAT site.... and for those owners & their oil analysis purposes, THAT's the number the oil analysis mob will likely want - the oil analysis mob are usually just after whatever unique identifier you (& they ) can use to make sure the analysis results don't get attributed to the wrong vehicle. . You would be perfectly entitled to tell them YOUR Unit Identification number is #1, cos this will be the first vehicle from YOUR 'fleet' that you bought... or maybe that you've ever got an analysis for. . Or if you wanted, it could be any other unique identifier that you chose which clearly lets YOU identify that the analysis they send back belongs to THAT specific vehicle... . Or you could use the VIN that the vehicle manufacturer has already assigned as a unique identifier, an identifier which also encompasses a whole lot more info, like engine type & spec, including some details that may impact upon how your oil should be expected to perform.

    Me, I'd just use the VIN, even if I (still) had anything like a 'fleet'!

    Enjoy!

    Spyders do have a model number on the VIN tag but it’s not unique, it just identifies it, for example, as a red/chrome RT Limited.

    I do agree with Peter that for oil testing purposes it means fleet unit number, which identifies single units in a fleet of trucks, cars, trailers, etc. Unit number is seldom tied directly to VIN but it could be.

    Deanna, I think you can put whatever you want there so long as it means something to you.

    Spot on, Peter. In fact, I left most of the vehicle info boxes blank since I have only one vehicle I was doing oil analysis on.

    When I filled out the Oil Analysis paper I did include the VIN #.

    So when I get the Oil Analysis results back, I'll know it is my spyder.

    Thanks

    RideOn,

    I did put a number in the "Unit" section, and they also asked for the VIN number, which I also wrote down.

    Thanks. I'll mail the Oil Analysis sample on Tuesday 11/2/2021, when I get the oil analysis results back I post on a different thread.
