JYA1UM004HA003209 8/86 White 140,000km

JY1a4W005EA000915 1/84 Gold 150,000km

 

I have seen the white described as an '87, but I confirm that the sticker does say '86. I also assume it is original color, as the back side of the panels are also white.

I'm sure that is not an original paint job. The only white was 1988 and it was a two town white and cream color. Maybe I just can't see the cream color in those pictures. If it is indeed the '88 white and cream, it is possible that the bodywork has been replace with that from an '88.

Thank you Stephane for the data.

Your white bike is in fact a 1987 Royale. The August 1986 build date is consistent with the build date for the 1987 model.

Your white bike is a repaint. The 1987 Venture Royale would have been either Alluvial Gold/Silky Gold or Elegant Brown/Imperial Brown from the factory.

Another clue that it is a repaint: you stated "the back side of the panels are also white."

The factory did not paint the back side of the body panels. The reverse side of all the body panels would be black, the natural color of the ABS plastic used to mold the panels.

G'day from NZ Kevin,

 

I am very interested in your project (will pm my email)

 

Mine is as follows - 4/83, JYA31M00 3 DA003228, odo=35102 miles, Alluvial Gold ( I think that's what they call it).

 

I have not seen one yet down here in the deep south, but I know there are a couple floating around, I will grab details off them if I ever cross paths...

Thanks Jerry. At your convenience, would you provide the build dates?

Posted
10-84 and 11-87. I'll bet you can figure out which one the dates go with. Have a good one.

 

Jerry, is it possible you mixed up the months? I have a 1988 with a higher serial number than yours but with a build date of October 1987. Might the 1985 build date be 11/84 and the 1988 date be 10/87?

I believe you have it correct . That's what I get for doing things late night. The 85 build date was 11/84 mileage 37409 and VIN JYA59J004FA000146.

And the 88 build date was 10/87 mileage 48896 VIN JYA1NLE06JA022821.

Sorry for the confusion.

Hi #Prairiehammer , hope you are doing well. I picked up a "new" 1986 Venture Royal today down here is Phoenix Arizona. She is Brown and was born 12/85 (according to the sticker) and OD says 58,344 miles (I believe it is really 158,344). VIN is JYA1NL00XGA001275. She is running, driving, and looking pretty good for having her 30th Birthday this month. I'll send you this info via PM too if you are not monitoring this thread, and would love to get an updated latest and greatest version of your database.

 

Thanks!

Thank you, Wil.

Obviously you know that you have a 1983 Standard Venture. Thanks to your contribution, I now know that March 1983 production started around DA003600.

What is the indicated mileage? And just for ****s and grins, what is the color? Black or maroon?

Thanks, again.

The manual goes through 2008 but my eyes are crossing. I will get the others extracted when I can.

JYA26H006DA0024 Only 15 numbers? Born 2/83. Black with 57, XXX miles.

 

Yes, Justin, your provided VIN is incomplete. Did you get that incomplete VIN from your title or registration? I've seen several instances of mistakes on documentation due to clerical errors, misread, transcriptions, etc.

Or did you get the VIN from the white label on the lower frame rail, just below the brake pedal. Sometimes that label is damaged or the numbers become illegible. Best to get the VIN from the numbers stamped in the steering head.

I can extrapolate the VIN/frame number from the engine number, but the engine may sometimes be replaced and the frame/engine numbers do not match.

Check again.

And thanks.
