Post by vojtech »

Hi, I found a frame motocycle ajs but I do not know what typ and year it is. because I have not found a number and year and cc (G8,H,E etc.) But i found only number on the frame - 96112. I think it's H9. Please, where I find the labeled with the year and cubage?
Thanks for help Vojtech

Yes 1927 model 9 500 SV
H is the year code letter for 1927, the number 96112 confirms the year and model
When the bike was new gearbox and engine would all have the same number. usualy theres a plate fitted on the gearbox and left side cranck case below the barrel. Many other parts may have part of the number or just the year code letter & model no. stamped, but you need to remember the part may had fitted other models and years . theres a number on the top rear of both cases, they are case matching numbers so should be the same on each side. mail me at prewar@jampot.com if you need more info.Edited by - Rob Harknett on 06 Aug 2012 1:25:34 PM
