What do the VIN numbers and letters mean on a Suzuki DS 80?

Are you sure this is the VIN number? A motorcycle VIN has 17 digits in it so the number you have isn't long enough and should contain more letters. The VIN is stamped on the right hand side of the steering tube that the pivot for the forks goes through.
The 10th digit letter is the year code for that bike.
*Note* The date given is the date of manufacture NOT the date it was first registered for road use. Another issue is that anything before 1980 may not have a date letter.
You can sometimes get a general idea of the bikes age by how it actually looks. The styling has changed over the years so that might give you an idea of which generation it is.

Do you want the engine serial number, or the VIN number for the vehicle? The VIN is 17 digits, numbers and letters, on the right front frame downtube. It's the one required by law. The engine serial number on the casting somewhere near the rear wheel, if I remember correctly.

Hi Gilbert:
Seriously, it will be on your registration.

thats not enough characters to be a proper VIN you should have 17 numbers/letters and the 10th digit will tell you the year. The VIN should be stamped in the neck of the frame. If your find the whole number I can break it down for you.

It should be engraved on the frame near the front forks.

The Rm125 Vin number is usually on the bikes steering neck, just behind the front Number Board.
Usually it is just to the right of the steering neck so you can read it from the right hand side. The clutch cable will also run close past it so if you follow th eclutch cable from the clutch lever, to where it rounds the frame just past the steering neck, you will see the VIN Number.

Without the frame number ( aka; VIN ), you are hosed. Get the VIN and then go to the site below. Engine numbers will not work.

The VIN is stamped on the frame, up on the steering neck on the right side. It is also found on a sticker on the left side of the rear swingarm, but this is often removed by owners looking to clean up the look of their bike.
