mjk1130 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Hey all. I dont really know what i'm getting myself into here but i drug my dads old yamaha out of a barn earlier because i'd like to get it running this summer. The thing hasnt started in my lifetime that i remember (23 years) but it seems to be in good shape. I can assume the gaskets are rotted and gone, all fluids are bad, battery shot. To my surprise tho i was able to pop it into neutral and back into gear, also i stomped the kick start and could hear it pump and it jumped forward. The first question I have is how to read the vin because i have no information on the bike. The vin is ct1 104527, i think, ive read quite a few decoding sites that only do 17 digits and some that have 9 but i couldnt find the prefix ct1, most all started with a number, a Y or a J.... so im lost and turning to those more knowledgeable than myself for help. Any info will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjk1130 Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 2 Wheels: Next time im out to the farm i will snap a pic. Black Hat: If you ripped a hole in the seat and covered it in dust cob webs and oil I do believe that would be damn near the exact same bike.
