The first three of my VIN are JYA ? Is that just a Canadian thing with the VIN #s?

We've learned that Yamaha begins each model year with the last 4 digits beginning with 0101.
Also, Canadian bikes are numbered independently from those in the USA but also begin with 0101.

Just for the fun of it I looked in some old files and found the bill of sale for the brand new non-current '85 I bought in February of 1987. I paid $4300 out the door for serial number 1662. I wish I still owned it, who knows where it is now.

I got my 86
For $4,800 out the door with a Rifle plastic windscreen thrown in. I sold it to my big brother. While he had it, a stranger stopped on the road and made him a cash offer on the spot. I too wonder if my old steed is still alive and rolling.

Greetings from Cyprus...(for those who do not know where Cyprus is, it is an island in the Mediterranean :biglaugh
. I just picked up my 85 VMax today and after coming across this forum and reading all your comments here, I went downstairs to check my number too. Apparently I have just picked up #0105 which was imported from the USA. It is completely stock. Previous owner added a kill switch for the lights as a means of conserving battery life. I plan on keeping it as is except perhaps putting some new "leather" on the seat as it is pretty worn out. Oh and I have to get rid of the sticker with the naked lady on the front "tank" cover. I do not know what the previous owner was thinking but it was not warmly welcomed by my Mrs. unk:

Constantinous, that is the fifth bike made for U.S. Market ! I wonder if Yamaha even has one lower production number than that! Maybe they have a pre-production or proto type in their collection. I know it looks just like any other Vmax but I would love for you to take pictures of the head tube sticker or VIN stamp so we can all ogle at it and do an act of obeisance to it. What a "survivor"! You lucky dog!
Now I'm jealous and feeling inadequate.
When in doubt...Gas it !!!

Wow! I am surprised the really lower numbers like this one haven't been totaled or met some other awful fate. Nice snag! If you ever decided to get rid of it, post your intentions here as you will have a long line of people wanting to get their hands on #105!
