| According to the owner's manual, the first digit refers to the "market designation". The "1" = Domestic and the "5" = International. Your friend's bike must have been made to sell outside the USA. | |

Thanks talked to my friend again and he mentioned the sales person said the bike was made to go to the Bahamas or some place like that so it is an export bike.He bought it new in florida. In the mean time he totaled it the other day,so it's going to salvage.Big Doug | |
