Post a pic. and one of the many of the knowledgeable Suzuki experts on the board could probably tell just by seeing it.

My 1981 rm has a normal vin
My 1980 kx has a vin like you mention above.. like 10 digits🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

I did find out when titling my 1980kx that in 1981 it was law to make them the standard 17 digit vin numbers. Who knew? And that doesn’t really even answer your question!😂😂😂😂

Maybe it's a Japanese domestic market frame i have a few 2 stroke street bikes from the 90's. That came directly from Japan. I know that Japan market bikes do not have the usual 17 digit vin numbers back then.

They use a frame number usually it would start with the model first. Then a frame number serial number Suzuki and Honda would do a 11 digit Kawasaki as well and Yamaha used a 9 digit.

I’ve got what I think is an 82 or maybe 83 RM250 frame that has a frame number RM250-103384
Did you ever get any answers on this?
I’ve also got another 82 with the normal 17 digit number
Thanks Tim

hey, people!

I was wondering if I can get some help.. I have an old Suzuki AE50 / Hyper / Hi Up, with a 11 digits frame number on it.. I believe it's a japanese frame number, and I need to discover the model year of the scooter (it's something about 1988 and 1996) but in the frame number, the tenth digit is "7", and in tradicional VIN's it means "2007" and don't make sense haha

do you know something about it?
