'Preserve Nature Blah Blah' stickers. What year were they introduced?

I know what the good book says but if you look in the service manual. Based on early crankcase like my 3/71 K0 No evidence of a tank sticker. My original tank had no evidence it had ever had one either. James has had a couple of early K0's .. maybe he knows. Sounds good to me ...dont want to foul up Menno's perfect Candy Jet Green paintwork !

A is the white sticker with B being the black version BTW.

Yes USA model <1000 VIN, so convinced it should not have the sticker like the early VIN in the service manual and hence I won't fit one. Interesting that the early crankcases are not listed as a different P/N either . Evidently in the US there was a lawsuit  over the dodgy gearchange/gearbox problems. Obviously, buyers didn't want to buy the original model with dodgy gearchange but dealers were trying to pass off '71's as '72's and there was some kind of lawsuit over it. Or something like that.

Ash - both of my 'early' square case 500 K0's didn't have the sticker fitted if that's any help?. I'm confident they weren't fitted to these early K0's...

Is that because of the no helmet law in some states of the USA?, if you don't need to wear a helmet, why have a sticker ?
