I was wondering if anyone knows how the Yamaha P/N system works. I am more interested in the first three digits, are these revision digits?

eg. I have a stock part # 86M-47331-00-00, but can find a used part # 8U7-47331-00-00. I was thinking maybe they made changes to the part and made it better, or am I better of purchasing the 86M part?
 

I know with the sx/srx the first 3 have to do with the sled that part first apeared in. I think the 8 is for all
example, any part starting w/ 8df first apeared in a srx600; 8df is how the srx6 vin begins
 
The 1st # "8" is the prefix for a snow specific part. an updated part woud go from 86m-47331-00-00 to 86m-47331-01-00 and on from there. But it is possible to use the other part number, but I can't say that for sure without seeing them in person. I have Artic Cat and Ski-doo parts on both of my sleds right now.
 
They look very similair to a Ford PN scheme from what I can tell. First set of digits/letters indicate the model of the sled, second set of digits/letters indicate the specific part and usually the last few are the revision numbers. It is great for telling you what the part actually is but doesn't tell you what it will fit unless you know alot about the models. Example would be that a part listed for the SXR with a certain first set of nuemonics and the same set on the second string would not necessarly fit a different sled with the same second string. Another example would be Ford uses say : F4DZ-2B120A -- a RH brake caliper. The first letter is the decade, second number is the model year, and the two letters are the car line. The middle bunch of numbers and letters are the actual part (2B120A) which is a RH brake caliper. The last few are revisions. I have seen that Yamaha follows somthing similiar but not necessarly exactly the same. Hope this helps.

whats the part anyway? also on a lot of yamaha parts the last 2 sets of numbers are like option numbers like color, how many teeth some gears have and are sometimes just left 00-00 as a default. the set of four numbers or letters tell what the part is exactly. either it's a numerical code or the part is spelled out in english. on very few things the first two digits of this number are the year the part was made. Parts that are the same but have changed appaerance regularly have this number and an abreiviation of the part after it in leters. some parts can be back oredered with this info. also the first three numbers of the set of four will be the first three digits of the vin # only if the firts three part numbers are something else, the vin #'s will be followed by a 2 number catagory code. the first three set of numbers are like a family catagory, really general, sled fourwheeler, sled accesory, clothing, general parts. a few years ago Yamaha re- sorted their part numbers. many of the older numbers before 01 i beleive will not work. you'll either have to go yamaha's web site or your dealer and tell the the name of the part you need. this is may not be alot of use to you, but i have not seen anyone else write about this so i thought i'd get it out. hardware like nuts and bolts odnt have regular part #'s either ie: 12345-67890-00
