All engine-vin numbers and coding references have been listed on a few previous threads
Search will find your answers :wink:

Have tried as you said , still cant find this model , apparently it was in france in a crate for some time , then uk registered in 2001 , I have all the numbers from reg docs and off the bike , JYA4 and 4VN does not appear anywhere as far as I can see.
I just wanted to know the build year/model , haven't got the bike yet , any advice welcome please!

Hey Will

Don't know where you got the number from but FYI, my V5 from the DVLA has a typo on the frame number vs what's actually on the frame itself..

I'd say yours is a 4UN, so EU model and judging by the low number, a very early model.. 96 or prob 95 built. Only weakness on early model was weaker valves but nothing that can't be sorted out. If it runs, is at the price is right price/matches it's condition, go for it.

Here's the thread on number which I think is being referred to: http://www.trx850.com/phpBB_forum/viewt ... er#p100150

Cheers
A
