ID NUMBER TRYING TO WORK OUT YEAR MODEL

you serial number/engine number...its on the Model ID plate.. just cross reference it..it should have the month/year of manufacture.. most are the "next year" mode...

Impossible to ID most bikes by serial number alone, let alone assign a value without knowing condition, amount of original parts, etc. Do a little work yourself - Google "(brand/model) serial number" (without quotes) or at least tell us what kind of bike it is. See my tip:

At the bottom of this page is the contact number for Jackson Support, which is the same as Fender Support. They should be able to ID the year and model from the serial number.

If you need the model # to get parts, try using the full Vehicle ID #...this contains the model info for parts specialists. Hope this helps.

There is a frame number stamped on the frame neck. If you call a dealer they can look up the year and model using an ID microfiche. Next to the stamped frame number there should be a riveted plate with the VIN number on it . If this plate is still on your frame it also has the model number and the model year of the motorcycle clearly printed on it. All Yamaha dealers have the ability to ID your machine using the Vehicle Identification Number.

You don't decode it. It is only a production run series number. Mororcycles are like cars in that respect. It is the frame number, AKA the "VIN number", is what carries all the information. Call a dealer with the frame number and he can tell you year, paint color, specific model and more. They may have a problem if the bike is too old. Yamaha changed to a newer code system a few years back.
