The VIN is on the frame.

The number on the engine is not the VIN

Answer 2

Can you tell if it is pre 1981? If so, you may have trouble using the VIN to find the year it was made. Since 1981 manufacturers have had a mandatory, uniform 17 digit VIN format that they must follow (if your bike was obviously made after 81, you seem to have misplaced some digits). Now-a-days the 10th digit of the VIN signifies the model year.



A = 80

B = 81

C = 82

D = 83

E = 84

F = 85

G = 86

H = 87

J = 88

K = 89

L = 90

M = 91

N = 92

P = 93

R = 94

S = 95

T = 96

V = 97

W = 98

X = 99

Y= 2000

1 = 2001

2 = 2002

3 = 2003

4 = 2004

5 = 2005

6 = 2006

7 = 2007

8 = 2008

9 = 2009

A = 2010

B = 2011

C = 2012

D = 2013



Hope this helps.
