the last 8 numbers/letters from your vin. called stock number, the first number of stock number is the year of the bike.
look at the vin number , from right go 8 numbers to the left, that is your year of the bike.

WAUKD78P66A136964
example:2006 is the year of this one.

you speak of the VIN #, does the same apply for the engine serial #

why do you need the engine serial number if you need to know what year is the bike?

not on cars for sure... Might try calling your local dealer and see if they will run the engine serial for you.. they do have data if they will let go of it for you..
