KIC Posted June 26, 2012 #26 Posted June 26, 2012 I will go pull what I have off of my parts bike tomorrow. I'll let you know.
Marcarl Posted June 26, 2012 #27 Posted June 26, 2012 Looks like mine might be an 83, it's supposed to be, so you're welcome to it, but I don't know if it works, nobody has told me, but it looks good.
Prairiehammer Posted June 26, 2012 #28 Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Is there a way to tell the exact year from the VIN ? A 1983 VIN will be JYA26H00(x)DA(xxxxxx) Standard, or JYA31M00(x)DA(xxxxxx) Royale. A 1983½ VIN will be JYA47R00(x)DA(xxxxxx) Standard or JYA47T00(x)DA(xxxxxx) Royale. A 1984 VIN will be JYA41R00(x)EA(xxxxxx) Standard or JYA41V00(x)EA(xxxxxx) Royale. A 1985 VIN will be JYA59J00(x)FA(xxxxxx) A 1986 VIN will be JYA1NL00(x)GA(xxxxxx) etc. Bill, I am collecting VIN of all First Generation Ventures. If you wouldn't mind, could you PM the VINs of all your Ventures? Thanks. I currently have 148 Venture VIN in my registry. Fifty-five are 1983s. Edited June 26, 2012 by Prairiehammer clarification

I'll get the VIN's of the parts bikes tomorrow and my 87 & 89 off the titles tonight. I will also get you the VIN's off of IronHorse Ike's 83 & 84.
DragonRider Posted June 26, 2012 Author #30 Posted June 26, 2012 The main difference is that the 83 does not have the clock in the bottom screen and the is just one LCD screen where as the others have the clock in them and have 2 LCD screens. Hope that helps.
Yammer Dan Posted June 26, 2012 #31 Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Is the 83 the only one with the (smaller hard to read) clock in the top screen and the two push buttons to set it on the right of the screen? Others clock and gear indicator were in bottom screen? 83s didn't have gear indicator? (CRS) DID I WIN??? Edited June 26, 2012 by Yammer Dan
DragonRider Posted June 26, 2012 Author #32 Posted June 26, 2012 Thats it Dan...that is the 83............ Is the 83 the only one with the (smaller hard to read) clock in the top screen and the two push buttons to set it on the right of the screen? Others clock and gear indicator were in bottom screen? 83s didn't have gear indicator? (CRS) DID I WIN???
KIC Posted June 26, 2012 #35 Posted June 26, 2012 Well I thought I had two 83 parts bikes, but from the VIN numbers, it looks like they are both 84's. I pulled the dash off of the one, and it doesn't match the picture in the prior post. Here are the pictures of my dash I pulled.
DragonRider Posted June 26, 2012 Author #36 Posted June 26, 2012 If Dan has the right one, I just sent him some pipes, so if he wants to part with it and if he is sure its an 83, I will wait on Dan, if its not right I will get back to you. Appreciated everyones help. So the one I have IS and 83. Do you want it?
