Form and breakdown of the Yamaha VIN
Until September 1995 the Yamaha VIN had 9 characters and was mechanically stamped.
The 9-character VIN is identical with the engine number.
Starting with a few models of the 1996 series, Yamaha began using a 17-character VIN. From then on, the VIN was no longer indentical with the engine number.
Exception: Models such as the YZ425F and YZ426F have an 11-character FIN
There is a star at the left and right ends of the number.
9-character VIN:
* 4HD – 017037 *
4HD = Model code (see the table below)
017037 = Production serial number

Breakdown of the Yamaha engine number
Engine numbers until 1995:
The Yamaha VIN has an asterisk on its left and right extremities. The number consists of 9 characters (in Austria -10-).
Until and including model year 1995, the engine number matched the (9-character VIN).
The number breaks down as follows:
| 3LU | – |
006142 |
| Type code |
Serial number (see under 1.2) |
Engine numbers from 1995:
The Yamaha engine number consists of 11 characters
J502E012345
The number breaks down as follows:
| J502E | – |
006142 |
| Engine code |
Serial number (see under 1.2) |
Sometimes, for reasons due to the system, Yamaha adds an extra ‘0’ before the last 6 characters when responding to queries. This can lead to erroneous replies to requests for traces if this is put into the search system. There should only be 6 digits after the letter ‘E”.
