hey guys. im buying a couple of parts off of bike band and it has the part listed twice like this:

: BEARING,NEEDLE
Eng No 372713 >

: BEARING, NEEDLE
> Eng No 372712


so its showing the <> symbols ... but is this referring to the engine number on my engine?

bobbo

Yep. One part for bikes with engine numbers over 372713, different part before that.

OK, I'm sure I'm setting myself up to expose my dumb-arse-ness here, but where do you find the engine number?

Top of the right hand side of the engine you say? But I have a 7-digit number there:





The engine numbers shown on bike bandit are 6-digit numbers, like the OP shows. What's the deal?

Looking around, seems like these engine numbers at that location can be even much longer than 7 digits depending on year and country, and often include letters.

It's sounding like the engine number is either the last six digits of the number found there (328219 in my case), or the last six digits of the VIN (334812 in my case). Either those numbers seem to be in about the right range for a 2008 like mine.

Anyone know which is the true "engine number" when referencing OEM diagrams like at bikebandit.com or http://www.worldoftriumph.com?

At worldoftriumph.com, you have to "add to basket".

Then view the "basket" and you will see the Triumph part number.

Thanks Slinky. I'm asking about the bike's engine number though, not part numbers. Like, if you look on worldoftriumph.com sometimes you'll see that a part is for engines #24000 and above, or whatever. Like this:



Don't know how to determine my engine number right now ...

The "engine number" quoted in parts books is the last 6 digits of the, usually 7 digit, number stamped on the crankcases.

MRTE

Is there any way to get the engine number if the cases have been changed and not stamped.I have an early 05,it had the famous starter issue and case broke.The dealer did not re-stamp the new case.I also have an 06 and just checked the engine numbers last six digits and they do not match the last six on the vin number.

They never do
