How to Find Your Motorcycle's VIN & Model Number

Quick overview

The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) uniquely identifies your motorcycle, while the model shows its make and version. These numbers are essential for registration, service, insurance, and warranty.

Common places to check

1
Headstock / Steering Neck

The VIN is usually stamped on the steering neck or frame near the handlebars.

2
Frame or Chassis

Stamped on a metal plate attached to the frame, often near the engine or under the seat.

3
Engine Block

Engine serial number may be etched or stamped on the crankcase or side casing.

4
Under the Seat or Side Panel

Some bikes place a VIN sticker under the seat or inside a side fairing panel.

5
Owner’s Manual or Registration

Official documents will always list your VIN and Model Number

6
Manufacturer Account / Dealer Records

If registered, your dealer or manufacturer account can provide VIN details.

Examples & formats

Typical examples:

Model: Yamaha MT-07, Honda CBR500R, Kawasaki Ninja 400
VIN: JH2PC4008FM123456

Troubleshooting if you can't find it

  • Turn the handlebars fully left or right to inspect the steering neck.
  • Use a flashlight for dark or recessed frame areas.
  • Check the owner’s manual, registration, or insurance papers.
  • Do not remove any welded or riveted plates — it may void authenticity.

What to do with the numbers

  • Register your bike for warranty, recalls, or service campaigns.
  • Use the model to find compatible parts, manuals, or accessories.
  • Provide VIN and Model when contacting the dealer or insurance provider.
  • Keep a secure record of your VIN and Engine Number.

🧠 Tip: Motorcycle VINs are 17-character alphanumeric codes. Models often include brand and engine size (e.g., Yamaha MT-07, Honda CBR500R).

🔒 Privacy & Safety Note

VINs uniquely identify your motorcycle. Do not post them publicly online — only share with official or authorized support.
