Does anyone have a NSR250 MC21 service manual?? I am looking for the pages that list the models and frame numbers(VIN series) at the beginning of the manual. Japanese preferred!

I can trade for a MC28 service manual if need be..

Trying to import a bike and that is the only way I can prove year of bike, by frame number. Nothing on title or registration shows year in Japan for 250cc bikes.


I would be forever in debt to person who can supply this.....

Are you talking about the parts manual or the service manual? The MC16/18/21 manual contains the starting frame number for each model (16/18/21). does not provide any seq numbers.

MC16 = MC16-1000001 (1987)
MC18 = MC18-1000020~ (1988)
MC18 = MC18-1100001~ (1989)
MC21 = MC21-100000~ (1990-1993)

Only information provided in the service manual.

If you are looking for an MC21 Service manual, they are available in English here. This includes the MC16, 18 and 21 models, layout is exactly like the original Japanese manual with FULL translation into english.

If you are looking for an original manual to provide as proof of Frame number to your government, check with Moriwaki man, he can get you a copy from Japan.
