Reading sprint VIN number...
While i had triumph of america on the phone today for a few questions i though i would ask them how to read a sprint vin.
So here you go... (This is for '05 plus sprint models, not sure if it works for other years or models)
SMT600PK08Jxxxxxx
SMT= World standerd certified Triumph
600= model, sprint st... 601 would be for ABS or GT model
P= engine, 1050cc
K= power, 128ps
0= check number, It just means that this is a real vin, and this number is derived by a bit of math pertaining to this vin....
8= year, it was made
J= where it was made, Hinckley england
Didn't know if this could be of any use to anyone, but here you go anyways...

Twig as this is a useful reference (thank you  ) I will move it to our Maintenance Tips and Tricks sub forum where anyone looking should be able to reference it more quickly.

Sprint RSs are model 605. My VIN is SMT605FSxxJxxxxxx. That would lend credence to Dave's theory about "F" meaning 955cc and "S" meaning 118HP.
I wonder if first gen 955s also get the "F"?
Fun trivia (assuming you're as geeky as me):
The "J" stands for Jacknell Road.
2004 RSs have two VINs, one for '03 and one for '04.
Cheers,
-Kit

My 2001 ST has the VIN SMT600FMx1Jxxxxxx, so +1 for F meaning 955cc. M means 108hp then?

Interesting, Raptorryus. That looks a lot like a UK VIN, but those don't have the "J" for the factory in them. Looks like France has its own format.
