How Do I Find My Motorcycle Engine Number

Unlike a VIN that is placed in several locations around a bike, an engine number will be stamped or engraved in one spot on the engine block. Some make and models will vary, but generally, a motorcycle engine number can be found on or directly above the crankcase, and is made up of around nine characters.

Can I find engine number from Vin?

Your VIN number is your vehicle identification number and you can find your engine size by VIN number. In the series of numbers and letters, the tenth from the left denotes the model year and the eighth is the engine codes. Just tell the store clerk those two characters and you’re in business.

Where is the engine number stamped?

Your vehicle’s engine number should be stamped right onto the engine of your vehicle. Pop the hood of your vehicle or look at your motorcycle’s engine from the side. You should see a sticker that clearly indicates the engine number.
