Yamaha Motorcycle Engine Serial Number Decoder

First off, I registered with this site primarily to did a little bit deeper to the full description of the Yamaha VIN meaning. Hi folks I found this email address, I sent them a polite email and my engine number and they got back to me the very next day with date of manufacture, model of bike and a code reference number for ordering spare parts, may be worth a try. Yamaha Motorcycles Serial Prefix – Yamaha Model Codes 1970 - 1994 Can i find this out somewhere on line by inputting the vin number? Any help greatly appreciated. I have recently aquired an xj with which i plan to build a chop, the previous owner lost the reg document and plate so i dont know the reg number. I bought it as an off road bike, and have been trying to get the original registration number from both Exeter and Swansea vehicle licencing centre, but I seem to have drawn a blank, as they keep on passing me from one dept to another, I know that I could re-register it for on road use by having 'Q' plates, but quite honestly I'd much rather use the original number plates, any info would be greatly appreciated. I read through the article in your link and I was completely fascinated!! Hi I am also trying to find info on my Yamaha xt since found out it's an 82 model using the vin number but as the member earlier wrote the website asks for 17 digits and I only have 9, this being : 12V, I note that the engines and frames originally had the same numbers on them, but the engine has 12V on it, a later engine change. It is like many other bikes: They do not use the standard european or US-american VIN, they fall back to their own system. Trying to confirm date of manufacture, original colour, and original market? Anyone have any idea? Does anyone know of a correct email address for the American and Japanese Corporates? All help greatly appreciated. This 'bike has only this number stamped into the frame and also into the engine. I am trying to correctly identify a xvrh 5H The Vin de-coder asked for a 17 digit number.
