When I bought mine, about 5 years ago, I was told there was an issue with the decompression lever/switch?

Mine was a US import, I have the NOVA but much like yourself I need to get it dated and then approach DVLA and get a plate for it

All things I will do once it's running and I know it's sound, much like yourself, watch this space

...plastics removed for deep clean slywink:

If it helps i have spoken to a chap called Richard at VJMC regarding the dating letter and he was very helpfull. I have submitted all the info to him so will keep you updated.

I registered a XS650 us import a few years back with a Nova. All went through smoothly with the DVLA. It's a great day when your hard work pays off and the V5C comes through!

What documents came with it?
Could be an issue.
It came with a recipe and thats it! I bought it as I "I will take it off your hands for x deal"
Did it 'sweeten the deal'?

Up and running, dating paperwork filled in and sent off, certainly looks better with a little effort and the plastics fitted :wink2:
