VIN Decoder
Anyone have access to a VIN decoder site? I recently bought a EC 250 and need to figure out what year it is (it is between 2003-2006).
Thanks, Brian |

Post the first 10 digits and we can decode it for you. Some used letters to denote the model year, while others had a number. If I recall, those years used a letter.

1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits = Region/Country/Manufacturer 4th to 8th digits = Model 9th digit = Check digit or place holder 10th digit = Year (Note: some European VIN's use letters. 2000 = "0" or "A") 11th digit = Assembly plant 12th to 17th = Serial number VTR XC200 1 0 3 010073 I highlighted the important digits in red. You have a "XC200" and the model year is "2000". The earlier XC's were brought into the USA with the lighter weight 2K-2 ignition and abbreviated wiring loom. No turn signals or horn, but did have a headlight and taillight will single toggle switch for the lights (typically mounted on the headlight shell). EDIT: Don't forget to update your member profile with your location. It will help us answer your regional questions better in the future. Welcome aboard!

You can tell for sure by the shrouds/seat it takes, unless the frame has been modified; same with position of the coil. In 2002, the factory started using the standard system with a letter in the tenth digit position.

Holy crap I now understand " standardization " No wonder my local dealer gave me the run around when I first got my bike about telling me what year it was etc... I'm really glad this site exists otherwise I would have no idea what year bike I bought and part #'s etc.... Thanks guys... Lol

It really helps to have the part numbers when making an order. If it gets confusing, I will do what I can to help anyone out. .
