I have a R80 ST registered 1984. The engine and frame numbers do not match. Is this normal? The engine number is found on a milled area to the bottom left of the engine case when viewed from the left. Apparently this started in 1984 when previously the number was up by the dipstick. The only reference I can find online are from American websites and they only had the ST up to 1983. Using the information I can find the engine was made in the 35th week of 1983, presumably as a 1984 model?
It also has what appears to be a model code 80 24 C. Can anyone shed light as to wether this is the original engine or could be ? The full engine number is 83 3568** the last numbers omitted for security reasons.
