NICEYou can enter the VIN here and it should tell you the details of your bike's manufacture. I tested it on mine and it worked.

My sticker says 5/11...I ordered it from dealer in May..didn't get it till July 23rd..There is a sticker on the left frame member under the back of the gas tank. Upper right corner of the sticker has the date and year. Mine says 02/11. That means it took a month to get halfway around the world.
