Pianos with the letters “YT” proceeding the serial number i.e, YT285000, were built in Yamaha’s in Taoyuan, Taiwan factory. Pianos with the letter “J” proceeding the serial number i.e, J2942840, were built in Yamaha’s Jakarta, Indonesia factory. The following atlas is for pianos produced in Yamaha’s Hamamatsu, Japan Factory. Year of Production. Based on the picture below, the Kawai BL-61 serial number is 599109. After checking the list, the BL-61 was manufactured in 1972.

Manufacturers used the numbers to identify the vehicles in the way they wanted until the 1980s. Yamaha wasn't an exception in this matter. Most of the manufacturers had nine months to implement this new rule on their assemblies. So if you plan to buy a bike of that year, the Yamaha VIN decoder can ask you to add a few more characters. The number was shorter, however, it can be decoded into the new VIN. If you buy a newer version of the bike, you will see a 17-characters code on the registration card that can tell you all the specs about it.

Simply locate your serial number and search the year/month table to find where your serial number slots in. For example, for a Yamaha upright serial number 2341286 was made sometime between 1976 and 1977. For a Kawai piano serial number 676389, the table shows us that it was produced sometime between May 1974 and November 1974.
Yamaha Piano Serial Numbers. When Was Your Yamaha Piano Made? To check the age of a Yamaha piano made in Japan, simply check the serial number against the list below. 1900 Start of Production 17 55 19 58 21 58 23 59 25 59 28 60 30 60 32 61 34 61 1 36 61 1 38 62 1 40 62 1 42 62 2 43 63 3.

The VIN code usually starts with the letters such as JYA that refer to the world manufacturer code. The Yamaha VIN decoder will tell you that J stands for Japan, the country where it was manufactured. Y stands for Yamaha, the label of the company and A determines the type of the vehicle. We have a motorcycle in this case. If you see any other letters and the owner of the bike looks suspicious, you should definitely decode the full code to compare the bike you see with the data from the decoder.

If you wish to buy a bike, the owner tells you the year, but the Yamaha ATV VIN decoder gives you another year, don't panic. The year in the code means the model year of the motor, but not the year when it was manufactured. Of course, it will be strange if the difference is more than a year or two. You can buy a new bike of the next year in autumn or in December of this year. It's a common practice of many companies.

Yamaha Piano Serial Number Identification Lookup

The VIN code is placed on non-removable parts of Yamaha bikes. If you see any scratches or deformations, use the Yamaha motorcycle VIN decoder to check whether this number is genuine. If you see that such a code doesn't exist, don't buy this bike even if the price is too low. Let's take a closer look at the locations of the VIN on your bike. There are three main places:

The right part of the head pipe or the steering tube (different names for one and the same part). Here you will see a shorter code for the models produced prior to 1982 or the 17-characters code for the models produced after 1981 and later. It's stamped vertically.
Take a look at the left part of the steering tube to find the printed card with the code and some additional information. For the Yamaha motor decoder, you will need only the VIN code and nothing more. However, the actual year of manufacture is indicated there. And yes, the code is located on the both sides of the tube.
The third place is on the case of the motor. You can find it next to or behind the clutch cover just on the right part of the motor. It's a small pad that's looking into the sky. Yamaha XJ550 models have the code is placed left to right while on other models it's front to back. The vintage Yamaha VIN decoder will decipher any code from any location on the bike.

The Yamaha VIN decoder ATV will tell you the information about the type of the engine, its specs and the type of fuel you can use. You should compare the code on the registration card with the code on all the locations on the bike. If you see any difference, it means the bike was repaired after an accident. If the codes are the same, the bike has its genuine parts that were produced in Japan.
