It sounds like a UK plate, but if the vehicle is to be used on the
roads in the UK, it is illegal to alter the plate to disguise the
lettering, by inserting a little black screw where the seller suggests.
In other words, (especially now with number plate recognition systems),
anyone buying the plate to do as the seller suggests will get pulled by
the police pretty quickly for doing so, and then fined for altering the
plate. This is usually the reason why this type of plate is up for sale,
but the seller probably forgot to mention it.

Ok there is no need to place a screw to the plate, to the eye it reads
YAMAHA YAMA11A
There are so many people driving in the UK with number plates as like
L33 TDA as they think it looks like LEE . Your 100% correct on the
ANPR there is heavy fines for altering the reg.
IMO looks stupid but this one looks great. Sorry Dude as Harry said
it's a Reg Plate for the UK
So I would not say I need to give out the law on displaying number
plates.
Seller ??? I am not selling it as its being sold by the DVLA on there
Auction site I dont have any involvement in the sale it was placed on
here for those that may have an interest. The last time I got on a
Yamaha was on my FS1E DX Daytona Yellow back in the late 70's See
a full list here:

Sorry TGS, the lack of detail in the original post, especially with the
mention of an auction, made it look like an attempt at eBay spam.

People considering these private plates should also consider the extra
costs of owning one. A few years ago, a friend had one on his car, and
it cost £80 transfer fee every time he changed the vehicle. He had a
vehicle stolen, not recovered, and had to wait a full 12 months before
he could get the plate back, plus another £80 fee to put it on another
vehicle. He was told by the DVLA that when making his insurance claim,
the insurance company must be told the plate was excluded from the
claim, or the insurance company could claim the plate as salvage if the
car was later recovered. I think he was also told that if he has an
accident, and the vehicle is a write off, the plate cannot be
transferred, and he would lose it.

When he was buying another vehicle, and he wanted to transfer the plate
to that vehicle, he had to take the old vehicle to the DVLA depot for an
inspection to check if it had been stolen, after a thorough check of the
vehicle he was told that if the vehicle had been stolen, the plate would
have to be forfeited, even though they had agreed to him putting the
plate on the vehicle in the first place, without checking then if the
vehicle had been stolen. After that he sold the plate, and said he would
never consider buying another.

I am sorry its not me selling its on the dvla auction site, I have no
connection with this plate. thought I would just pass onto this group
the info. To be honest though you woul not even need to place a screww
in between the 11 as by the eye it reads YAMAHA last time I had a
connection with Yamaha was on my FS1E DX in the late 70's

Tell me about it! I am just about to change my vehicle and transfer my
pp to it at a cost of the £80 but I usually keep my vehicle for a good
7 - 10 years so is not too bad. But what a palaver about your friends
story. I was only looking through that auction site for my daughter &
noticed that Yam plate straight away so I searched for a relevant ng
and this one was the one he he apologies accepted. When you say lack
of detail in the post my Mrs always goes on about keep it short she
says KISS (Keep it short simple
