dagiantfreak Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I just bought a motorcycel off of Ebay that is supposed to be a 1992 Yamaha Xv535. The problem is, The vin has only 9 charecters. The vin is 2yl064548. What is this bike. I was told by a guy that it might be a import from the Uk. Im not sure. I need a gas cap and gasket for whatever bike this is but I do not know what to buy. Will other years interchange? Like I said, I need help. Any help anyone can give me would be apreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
