After Kawasaki went independent, for a while between 2017-2019 or so, the Kawasaki bikes have RC cards with manufacturer field mentioned as “Kawasaki Heavy Industries” or just “Kawasaki”.
BHPian KarthikK recently shared this with other enthusiasts:
For my 2018 Ninja 1000, I had asked the Kawasaki showroom for the exact procedure for HSRP plates earlier this year, and because there was a HSRP deadline extension in Karnataka upto September 15th, I had also not followed up with them on this.
Earlier this month, Rideventur (Bangalore Kawasaki dealer) called me up asking for confirmation and after sending them my RC card soft copy, they fabricated the HSRP number plates for my bike and informed me to go and get it fitted at the Rideventur showroom.
The exact procedure to be followed is:
Step 1: We have to first send an email to Rideventur’s official Email ID (shown in picture below), with the subject line mentioning HSRP number plate request and model of your two-wheeler. Please attach a soft copy of the RC card showing the front and the rear of the RC card, in PDF format. You can follow the format shown in my email below.
Step 2: Contact Rideventur dealership by phone, inform them about having sent your email with details. They will verify the details once and ask for a one-time payment for the HSRP fabricating costs, it will be around ~1k INR.
Step 3: After 3-4 days, the staff will contact you as soon as the number plates arrive at the Kawasaki dealership. Please take your vehicle there and get the old number plates replaced with the new HSRP number plates. There is no fitting cost needed to be paid once the HSRP costs (of step 2) are paid. After fitting, the staff will take pictures of both front and rear number plates on the vehicle, for RTO tracking that the plates have indeed been installed on the bike after procurement.
I got my plates fitted yesterday and interacted directly with the sales staff at Rideventur who helped with HSRP procurement. Do note, this procedure applies only to owners of pre-2019 Kawasakis which were NOT sold under the Bajaj collaboration. For those with pre-2019 Kawasakis sold under the Bajaj collaboration (before Kawasaki went independent), the HSRP set should be readily available for online order at the Siam website since the manufacturer field in the RC card should show as Bajaj auto. After Kawasaki went independent, for a while between 2017-2019 or so, the Kawasaki bikes have RC cards with manufacturer field mentioned as “Kawasaki Heavy Industries” or just “Kawasaki”. It is only for these bikes that the process above applies (For me the RC card shows as Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd.). For Kawasaki bikes post 2019, the manufacturer field will show as “India Kawasaki Motors”
