What the number itself says
Reading 9SHKX.250AML left to right: 9 is the model-year letter for 2009, SHK is the three-character code the EPA assigned to Shenke Usa as certificate holder, X marks an off-road certification, .250 is the displacement in litres, so 250cc and AML is Shenke Usa's own sequence for that year. Nothing in the number names the factory — that comes from the certificate itself.
The engine, as described on the certificate
The test vehicle Shenke Usa submitted for this family (model SK250ATV-1) carried engine code 167FMM. In the Chinese engine-model convention that reads as one cylinder with a nominal 67 mm bore, FMM series.
The certificate describes a four-stroke, single-cylinder engine with 2 valves per cylinder fed by carburettor, run by an ignition control module (CDI-type ignition). There is a catalytic converter in the exhaust, recorded as "oxidizing catalyst only". The head carries a pulse secondary-air (PAIR) valve.
Rated power on the record is 10 kW (about 13 hp) at 8,000 rpm, driving through a 5-speed manual gearbox.

Filing history and where it was sold
Shenke Usa filed one certificate under this family, for model year 2009, sold as 50-state, California included.
The vehicle itself is recorded as built by Zhejiang Jmstar Shenke Motorcycle Co., Lt.d. in China, while the engine came from Chongqing Zonshen Engine Manufacture Co., Ltd. Chassis parts and engine parts therefore have different origins.
Certified emission levels: CO 10.8, HC 0.30, NOx 0.21 g/km.
Other records carrying the same engine code
Shenke Usa certified an engine with this code under 3 other family numbers — the same engine filed again in another year, or in an off-road and a street version:
- 8SHKX.250AML (2008)
- ASHKX.250AML (2010)
- BSHKX.250AML (2011)

A shared code from the same factory is a strong search lead. From a different factory it is as often a naming coincidence. Either way it narrows the search; it does not settle it — measure before you buy.
