I dont know if its the same but i had a question about a 06 blaster i wasnt sure if it was a 05 or a 06 and i called the yamaha dealer and they told me the 8th digit from the back was the production year as for the engine size it should be stamped on the motor somewhere
There is 17 digits in a vin. If you count back 8 digits, it will be the 10 digit from the front. So, its the tenth digit. If its a 6 then it will be a 2006, if it is a 5 it will be a 2005
