Default Help Identify Old Moto-4?

I picked up an old Yamaha Moto-4 4 wheeler... it has blue plastic and I was wondering if someone could decode the VIN for me and tell me the year and model?

Looks like I have my work cut out for me... needs a starter relay, rectifier and a battery for starters. Carb is in a tank of Chem-Dip for the evening.

VIN: JY41NU00800011221

Thanks!

Numbers on mine were stamped into the lower frame rail, between the shifter and the back of the front left fender. They were stamped onto the outside of the rail.

Found the displacement under the cylinder head, so it looks like I've got a 200... now just need the year if anybody knows? Thanks.

Answered my own question... looks to be an 86. I had a '0' where I should have had a 'G', oops.

Here's a breakdown of letter/number to years:

Code:
80  81  82  83  84  85  
A   B   C   D   E   F    

86  87  88  89  90  91  
G   H   J   K   L   M   

92  93  94  95  96  97
N   P   R   S   T   V

98  99  00  01  02  03  
W   X   Y   1   2   3   

04  05  06  07  08  09
4   5   6   7   8   9
And a nice site to decode VINs...
