Hi "merleneff"

The serial number on the engine is totally different from the VIN number on the frame. If you had the VIN number from the frame, I could give you all the details.

The only info you can get from your engine number is the production date and origin of manufacture. You can call the Yamaha Motorcycle Corporation for this info.

Hope this helps you out!
