Did you have an ownership or did you have to get one?iI
I currently do not have an ownership and am wondering how much of a hassle it will be dealing with the Gov staff to get one.

[Scugog4]

I got ownership but insurance looking for 17digit vin maxx only came with serial number and anything after 90s shud have vin they say arg joke

[Scugog4]

So i just add zeros or letters or what

[Scugog4]

As far as ownership if u have argo call odg but my problem.is maxx is out of buisnees cops out on the ice my huts out ther i need ins what a joke ontarios red tape is i hate the goverment here theyvtreat us like 2 year olds we call it the nanny state

What did u do to get motorcycle ins

[Scugog4]

This is frustrating why wouldnt they just produce them.with a regular vin there saying its a 2012 all vehicles should have a vin this new arg what im i suppose to do leave it in garage

What did u do to get motorcycle ins

If I remember correctly it was the insurance agents idea. We just added the proper amount of Zero's to the beginning of the serial # to have the correct number of digits.

Its actually pretty stupid. The insurance company required X number of digits but the ministry that registers the bike only needed the proper serial #.

[Scugog4]

Whats really stupid is maxx didnt use a proper vin no i have a 10000 dollar machine i cant use no wonder they went out of buisness

I think you are over reacting.
Take a breath and read some of the suggestions made here.
Many older ATV etc do not have a VIN. (my Argo doesn't either) and they are able to register them.
If your insurance is the issue then do as mentioned above and add zero's to the beginning of the serial #

[Scugog4]

I thk you for the suggestion newer models after 90s all have 17 vins underwriters dnt care if i give all 000 at the beginning they still.wont find the machine they want to see it come up in the system tell them year make ect. I have a ownership from the mto they still are saying no bull crap ontario they think everyone is trying to scam them its a whole different ball game now ill try it.next company i can find if u dont have ins with them.they dnt want to.talk to u.sigh so.u have to also transfer house car ect at a higher rate its all a big scam im at the point were its going to be sold ram it kathleen wynne

Your right im not happy its a farce man im just trying to be legal these machines are great ive had 10.argos over the years fixed used sold but now the rules have changed b4 4 wheelers went running all over you didnt even have to register them or were a helment right up.to 2004 now its a joke they dont even.no what to class them as half the time one person says ine thing another the opposite really there to much of a p.i.t.a. now I was hard core argo guy but even with 17 digit vin most places want you to sign a opcf9 witch is a waiver saying it will not be used in water phew its a argo or maxx like really is it worth this i.just want to.use it man.legally im.not up.in tim.buck 2 lots of mnr guys always all over my area its just a shame odg should be helping set the rules instead of selling 30000 dollar machines and leaving you.hung out 2 dry its in there best interest but money is the driving force not a argo or a maxx shameful
