Yamaha 9 Digit VIN Decoder

Find recorded model, year and market information for a classic Yamaha. Enter a 3-character model code followed by a 6-digit serial number.

Dashes, stars and spaces are OK. For example, 2A8-180145 is read as:

Model code · 3 characters
2A8
Serial number · 6 digits
180145

Before you use the result

Check the number format

This tool supports a 3-character Yamaha model code and 6 serial digits. It does not decode modern 17-character VINs or every older frame-number format.

A useful starting point

The historical records are incomplete and may contain errors. A missing match does not mean the number is invalid. Confirm model and year with the motorcycle's documents or a Yamaha dealer.
