kelpike Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I just bought a 1986 FJ 1200. What does it mean when the title is stamped in big bold letters" REBUILT TRUE MILEAGE UNKNOWN" ? Does anyone know if I will have a problem registering the bike with this title? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild foamy Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I just bought a 1986 FJ 1200. What does it mean when the title is stamped in big bold letters" REBUILT TRUE MILEAGE UNKNOWN" ? Does anyone know if I will have a problem registering the bike with this title? Thanks where is it stamped?, on the bike or on the V5C? it isnt a legal requirement to list the mileage on the V5C certificate so i sohuldn't think there would be any problems registering it, your insurance premium may increase though if it has had a shunt and been written off. perhaps a little info abojt the bikes history?, is it a writeoff and is the V5C present?

kelpike Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 It is stamped or printed right on top of the title itself right under the bikes information, but right above the owner and Liens section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know if I will have a problem registering the bike with this title? Thanks this is an american term so i presume you are one of our many american members,it means that the bike has been rebuilt by an unknown manufacturer ,the bike could be a stolen and recovered bike or one that was abandonded or even a crash repair mileage not warranted this term is used by many auction houses in the states and can affect title but not always,not sure of current state laws as its been a long time since i lived your side of the pond maybe one of our american members can advise you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
