I purchased a imported yamaha yz450f need to find out year model vin:CJ10C027008 ENG: J324E027999 THANKS..

The 2003 Yamaha YZ450F is a big-bore, air-cooled two-stroke motorcycle. It was first introduced in 2001 and was the replacement for the 2000 model year YZ450F. The engine displacement has remained at 450cc since then. It uses an overhead camshaft with four valves per cylinder and a 4 valve/cylinder head configuration to create power output of 35 PS (29 kW) @ 8500 rpm and 25 lb·ft (35 Nm) @ 7200 rpm with a compression ratio of 9.7:1.

The bike was manufactured in October '09 to be sold as the 2010 model year. Auto dealers do the same. You can buy a 2011 Ford Mustang in September of this year, 2010.

The engine number will not give you what you need. The VIN is the key. You will find the VIN number stamped into the center steering stem that the forks attach to. Call a Yamaha dealer with the VIN and they can tell you what year and model of bike you have.

A “very helpful” rating for this answer? Thanks!
