How to read Yamaha VIN number
A Yamaha VIN number consists of 3 sections that help reveal general information at a glance:

World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI) (characters 1-3) shows a vehicle’s manufacturing country, brand name, and vehicle type.

Vehicle Descriptor Section (VDS) (characters 4-9) reveals the engine type and other specifications of a motorcycle.

Vehicle Identifier Section (VIS) (characters 10-17) shows the model year, assembly plant, and includes a unique serial number.

WMI sections for Yamaha vehicles can vary by vehicle type. For instance, most Yamaha motorcycles have the “JYA” WMI section, while it’s “JYE” for snowmobiles and “JY4” for ATVs.
