| Location of Number: | |
| Vehicle identification number | – on the steering head, at the front, on the right |
| – 640 Adventure or 640 LC4 on the steering head, at the front, in the middle | |

KTM VIN Lettering
The VIN has had 17 characters since the latest models entered production. It is ‘needle punched’ after painting and before assembly (until model year 2005).
From MY 2006 (production launch September 2005), the VIN has been etched on.
To protect against corrosion, a plastic film is then stuck over the needle-punched VIN.
Replacement frames come either with no VIN or with the original VIN from the works.
Factory Plate for KTM:
Location of the type plate
Normally attached to the steering head next to the VIN. It is a ready-made sticker, on which the details have been entered by means of a laser printer. According to the manufacturer, this foil will be destroyed by any attempt to remove it.
Exceptions:
640 Adventure and 640 LC4: the factory plate is located on at the front, on the steering head.
950 Adventure: it is also visible from the front, but is located on a cross tube.
990 Adventure: on the right, on a frame tube under the tank; it is partially concealed by cladding but still visible without having to dismantle anything
US models do not have factory plates. But these models do have stickers on various body parts on which the original type approval number can be seen.

Form and appearance of the type plate
Engine Number:
Location of the engine number
The lettering of the engine number is normally needle punched.
Thee engine number on the 50, 65 and 85 models is placed on the engine block using a stylus.
engine numbers on LC 4 and LC 8 engines are found on a smoothly milled part of the engine block.
The engine number on prototypes is applied by hand using an electro marker. Sometimes there are additional data, such a V for Versuch (Trail).
X Bow
On the left in the dividing joint between engine and gear stamped as well as on a sticker (1) on the right in the dental strap protection. The engine identity letters are smashed, in addition, in the cylinder head and in the cylinder block.
Locations and close-up views:
air cooled (until 2008)
200 SX, EXC, MXC, SMC = 523
300 SX, EXC, MXC = 549
from model 2009 = without “R” and in addition ECX 400
250 EXC E (from 2009)
1190 RC 8 R (from 2009)

Replacement engines
These already have a complete engine number. Replacement engine housings are delivered without numbers as they fit several different engine types.
Vehicle Keys KTM:
Nowadays all KTM models are normally delivered with two vehicle keys. If they are both present these will lock both the ignition and the handlebar lock. Any discrepancies can only be cleared up through the manufacturer.
KTM motorcycles are not equipped with electronic immobilisers.
When the keys are delivered there is a tag on the plastic connection between the two keys, which contains the name of the company and the key number. It is not possible to link a particular vehicle with this key number.

Optically like as keys are delivered without Transponder – see above – two black ones and an oranger key (master key).
Exception: Vehicles with RRS – a black and a orange key as well as a “radio key”)
It is inserted from the 990th series
RRS = Riders Recognition System
until MY 2010 only for models ‚Italy’ (approx. 30 piecies) from MY 2011 worldwide
