Is there any easy way to tell if my Mille is a 2001 with the bigger valves, etc. as opposed to the older 2000? Is it just VIN number?
Thanks.

Where da booty at?
The bigger valves cam with the '02 and newer here in the states. The new body came in '01.
The 00.5 and older does not have the deflectors on the front fairing either as a quick visual.

"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive we tie a rope around their necks and hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours." - Sir Charles Napier
"Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
- George Orwell
Thier was a thread on here a couple of weeks ago about VIN and build dates, from memory " the number in front of the letter "S" in your VIN dictates the year it was made.
I have'nt checked this out yet on mine.

Any chance that *some* updated engines snuck in with the '01 US run?
My VIN is very low...S000027...
Is there any easy way to identify the newer engine by looking at the engine itself?

CarlosT, here the link to the thread about VIN's
http://www.apriliaforum.com/forums/s...&highlight=VIN
However saying that I got my bike in Apr 99 and the didgits before the "S" is a ZD-----00XS1----- So how you get the year of manufacture from that is beyond me? But as I'm the only person ever to own this bike since it came from the factory makes it easier for me.
