Vin numbers

#1 Post by Roryd » Sun Dec 22, 2013 1:25 am

Hi all. I recently bought a 1985 rz500. I was wondering what the difference between the
ones that the vin number starts with 47 and the ones that start with 52 ? And what parts will interchange ? Thanks for any help.

Look under "production differences" topic
4th thread down. called 47x vs. 1GE whats different.
Basicly 47x is the early steel frame bike out of the yamaha factory.
52x came later and many things are updated. If you want your bike 100 percent original you will need to know the differences.
