Model year/designation chart?

[tvking63]

Is there a chart or list somewhere that shows what models numbers have what equipment and what year they are?

 

I searching I found [ame=http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=24554]this[/ame] , but it doesn't address the model numbers.

 

The title says my 84 is a XVZ12DL, but the 83-84 shop manual lists an

L, KCZ, DL, DKCZ, TDK and a TK with no explanation of what those model numbers mean or what the differences are. http://www.cbr1100xx.org/forums/style_emoticons/22306set/eusa_think.gif

 

Edit: I just saw mention of KC2 and a DKC2 as well.

You have an XVZ12.

 

Royale - D

 

Model Year 1984 - L

 

XVZ12DL

 

If it was a California model it would be XVZ12DLC

 

The DK should be an 83, and DKC should be 83 Califorina.

 

Not sure about the other designations, but at a glance they appear to be non-US models.

 

You need to be careful with the manuals as they often cover multiple years and models. You need to have a close look at the supplements to make sure there isn't information for your year and model there that overrules the bulk of the manual.

 

In the supplements there should be a model identification section that will let you be sure you have the correct info.
