636 tax

[RichieZX6R]

Hi, just went and taxed the 636 today and expected to pay the 'over 600' band but was suprised when the lady charged me 400-600 band? Thought this was odd but when I looked at the old tax disc this was the same from a different post office? Both tax disc's say 599cc? Is this right? Wouldn't want to get stopped by plod!

Thanks

What do you mean its the wrong tax officer? I handed over the log book and documents and the lady handed me this tax disk.

Haha I would say that! Just with the 636 stickers plastered all over it it maybe a little harder to get away with

I've had mine for 5 years and it's always been in the top bracket....

DVLA Vehicle enquiry

Check what the price is for 12 months on the above site and then cross reference with:

Thanks for that. It does indeed say the tax rate as 55 quid a year on the enquiry website.

Nick I haven't got the log book yet. Only just got the bike. Thought it was a 636 due to the stickers etc. Can't attach picture using my mobile

Looks like an A1P, which is a 636 engine, 2001 would be J2 no?,

As far as i know the A1P was the first 636 model in roughly the same frame/design as the earlier G/J models, before the B1H more focused machines.

Have a look at the frame number. From memory it will be start with ZX600A or ZX600J to tell which one it is.

{edit} Just looked up the one from my old model and it was JKAZX600JJ - the JJ denoting a J model.

The earliest 636 was the A1P model which wa basically an upgraded engine in the old G/J set up.

Seems a funny error on the DVLA part, its all computerised so the post office just issue what comes up on the computer screen.

Possible its a J model dressed up as a 636....What was it sold to you as?

[RichieZX6R]

so J1P? and thats 599cc? or 636cc?

[McJamweasel]

The J1/J2 are 599.

G and J models are 600's (599), The A1P and B1H/C models were 636.

What does the capacity say on your engine?
