The authority for the VIN change arrives.

     The authority for the VIN change arrives.

     Well, a day like any other in Florida, the mail man made his rounds as normal. In from work, i cycle through the deliveries, trash, offers, trash, OHIO DMV.........
     I think, good news is not this fast, how wrong i was. Those sterling guys up in OHIO have upheld my claim for the VIN change. All my paperwork is in order and i can now apply for the corrected Title :-)
     Grinning like the Cheshire Cat and feeling reasonable smug and content with my progress thus far i decide to complete my dealings with the state of Ohio.
     So i now call the local office in Warren County, who issued the title in the first place -

'Hello, Warren County BMV, how may i help?'

Hi, (long explanation of circumstances and process)'

'That should be no problem Sir, when did you purchase the motorcycle?'

'It was on the 5th of May this year.' I says

'Oh, you will have to pay the $15.00 for a new title and a $5.00 late fee.......as it is over 30 days since you acquired the motorcycle.' she states

'But, (long explanation of process again) so can't the late fee be waived?' I question / plead politely.

'No, i don't think so, would be safer to pay now rather than draw the process out.' She replied

'OK, i will send today.' Was my reply, with a smidgen of defeat in the air.

     I am a little frustrated after my great news, but hey - it's only another $5.00 and most importantly of all, the VIN will be corrected on the title and the bike will be finally up for transfer to me in Florida. I just hope they are as helpful as those very nice people in Ohio.

     And of course none of this, to date, would be achievable without the help of the previous owner, thank you Scott.

   

     So, where are the wrenches and that manual.....

      I googled KZ650 Manual, and there are a few around, think i will start with the factory production one, they are available to buy on eBay or from other places, i manages to source mine from here, and it was at the best price - FREE !
