Does the Yamaha Part Number mean anything ?
It certainly does…. For a Part Number in the format XXX-XXXXX-XX-XX XXX-XXXXX-XX-XX The first three digits are the Model Code (every model in the Yamaha Product Line has a unique model number) all parts are given a Model Code of the first model they were used on. XXX-XXXXX-XX-XX The middle five digits are the Basic Code number and indicate the section of the bike that the parts belong to (i.e. 11631 – piston; 11311 – cylinder etc.). A “W” substituted in the first position of this five-digit group (000-W0000-00-00) indicates a factory assembled kit which differs in content from the original assembly used in production (i.e. 2M0-W0046-00-00 Rear Break Pad Assy). XXX-XXXXX-XX-XX The next two digits are the Design Code and Design Change digits (so 01 means the part has had one design change). XXX-XXXXX-XX-XX The last two digits are the Color or Finish Code. For a Part Number in the format XXXXX-XXXXX-XX All these parts are Hardware (fasteners), they all start with a ‘9’ and end in ’00’.
