What years did different 500 models run?? Yamaha have told me mine is a '83 bike, but I've also heard Japan only made the RZV's in '84????
Steve, I agree, but when I applied for an age related plate for my 500 when I came to the UK, the DVLA told me I had to go to my local Yamaha dealer and get a proof letter from Yamaha with my chasis and engin numbers and they would give me the year of manufactuer.jackson.40 wrote:Hi Andrew,I am sure that production started in march 1984.
After giving this information to Yamaha Bedworth... AND £50... they gave me a letter a few days later to give to the DVLA so I could get my 'A' plate.
It says my RZV was made in 1983?????
I told the guys at Yamaha that I was always under the impression the RZV was only produced for one year...1984.
No one at Bedworth Yamaha knew that much about the RD/RZ/RZV history and just said that was the information they received from Japan.
