How do I tell what year my Yamaha bike is?

Locate the serial number or VIN on the dirt bike head, motor or on the title. Check to see if the number has dashes or spaces. If it has dashes or spaces it is a pre-1981 dirt bike--this number is a serial number. If it doesn't have dashes, it was manufactured after 1981 and this number is a VIN.

What kind of Yamaha piano do I have?

You are looking for the piano's serial number. If your model is a grand piano, this will be located on the gold plate, usually on the lower right hand side. On an upright model, the number will be on the same plate but will be located at the top right. Make a note of this serial number and go to the Yamaha website.
