The vin is missing because the quad was stolen in 1998, and recovered later, so it is indeed legit. On most older Mule models, the VIN is near the front of the vehicle. For all Trans4X4 models, the VIN is on the left rear driver seat frame rail, and Mule 600/610 4X4 models have it on the frame rail below the seat over the fuel tank. also spoke with the prev owner and he said just bring it back if i cant get it titled and hell give me my money.Įdit: Wheres the engine number cause they want to see that too For most late-model Mule side x side, the VIN is located on the forward frame rail below the seat.

Got a little worried that the atv may be impounded if its altered, missing, etc.Īsked an officer i saw at walmart and he said i should be ok since i had no knowledge of it missing / altered / etc and just acquired it. So i decided ill go home, no big deal, call the office in my town, and the guy seemed real suspicious of me when i told him what had gone on so far, and mentioned that vins dont just 'go missing', and it didnt seem plausible that the kawi guys couldnt find it either, i said its an older rig and the place i took it to seemed to deal more with 2wd sport quads.įriend mentioned that it is probably on the lower part, looked and im not sure if its rubbed off from a broken cv and the tire hitting the frame earlier in this quads life, or from the dmv employee just moving dust around looking for it. So i went down there and found out i needed to make an appointment, and that i needed to do it in my home county (was trying to get it taken care of near the sellers residence, 80+ miles away)

If DMV cant locate vin / engine number, you get referred to California Highway Patrol. There was a kawi dealer a few blocks away, they couldnt find it either even after consulting a service manual. I was then told by dmv that the vehicle needs to be inspected, so i go into the inspection area, and the employee couldnt find it, and i had no idea either. I bought it here in California, and to get a new title and OHV permit (known as a green sticker) i had to fill out an application for new title. I recently acquired a 97 400 prarie that has an out of state title.

Glad to hear you guys cant find it either, and i now have a better idea on where to look.
