Then no way will you have to use a cat.
hello
I need proof of the year in writing of my 03 r1 engine for the sva paperwork does anybody know where i could get this from
Cheers Des
I know with Hondas you can write to them and they'll send you details for a fee of about £30 but Ive not heard of anyone doing it through
Yamaha.
Would a Haynes manual not suffice, some SVA centres will accept that although its not universal?
Im not sure how stict they'd be for an 03 engine anyway, its not like you're trying to claim its a pre-95 and so bypass the emissions tests,
so they might not worry too much.

You may be able to ring the Yamamaha tech people and get them to send you a letter saying that the engine with number xxxxx was made it 2003. Or will they accept the stuff in a Haynes manual?
Des,
May or may not work but certainly did for me and mine was also SVA'd at Mitcham.
I found all the Honda dealers (you would have to do Yamaha obviously) and emailed loads of them with the engine number and asked them if they would
mind confirming the age of he engine.
When a couple had come back I wrote back to them thanking them and asking if thye would mind putting it on there headed paper, they did and sent a
letter by fax and one as an email attachement.
You can also make up some Yamaha headed paper and a letter yourself and just pick a dealers address and it will be fine.

Download a Yamaha logo, make your own sheet that says the engine number matches the manufacturing date of 27/05/94.

I didn't provide proof of age with my SVA application as I declared it as an '03 engine and had a cat fitted. It's only really of value
if it's pre cat build so you can use the nicer emissions test.
You may want to look in a Haynes manual for the year of bike you have as it may have the engine number runs in there.

Like Chocky says, even if you can prove your engine year, you're still gonna have to go through the strict emissions test at SVA. Personally I
wouldn't bother getting one.

Thanks everyone i wont bother as you say im going for the more strict emissions test so whats the point.
Thanks a lot Des
aldi were doing a number and letter stamp for £3 may be handy i know some service historys are done this way.

I wouldn't chance it. I have crossflow in mine and ant testerworth his salt would know these have not been made for >20 yrs or more; even so, he still wanted proof -(burtopn power catalogue).
