    1982 Yamaha Maxim here with build date of 3/1982. VIN is faded and can't read a few digits. Need to know the engine size so we can sale for parts. Engine has 15R-017855 on it and 2500cm3 on the clutch housing. Would appreciate a accurate ID of engine size. Thanks

    Serial is faded but I must be missing one digit. VA15R304CA017355

    All Yamaha VINS start out with JYA <- Company code. Also, 3s and 8s can look similar, so double check (if the engine is original to the frame, the last 6 digits will match)
    2300cc is the oil capacity. Displacement is stamped on the front of the engine, in between the exhaust pipes.

    Chacal has a post on decoding VINs. If it's the sticker that's faded, there's a stamp on the other side of the frame neck. If it's short like the engine VIN, there's a way to convert it to 17 digits. If you give him the engine VIN he'll be able to get you the right parts.

    What's the title say? :D

    EDIT: oops, didn't see that you were selling it for parts, here's the link for VINs: http://xjbikes.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=14577.html

    15R lines up with a 750 maxim

    I didn't want to list it until I know what the engine size is. Was intending to CL it.
