I'm having problems with registering in New York state!! I'm wondering if anyone else has a 1997 sx 600 and how many digits the vin# is? The registry is saying that it is supposed to be 13-17 digits long, mine is only eight...

How many zeros are there? Mine has 8 digits total...
Yamaha has only been using the 14 digit #'s since either 02 or 03. Anything prior should only be 8 digits. That is according to my dealer. I had the same problem with insurace on my 01 SXR700.
Only 9 on both my 99 and 01.

Use a piece of paper and pencil to trace the etched VIN and bring that in. Or take a digital picture of it.
The tracing didn't work it isn't clear enough, and I'm going to try taking a picture but the registry is saying that it doesn't match anything in there computer....so now even if I take a picture and prove it is only 8 digits they still might not let me reg...because it doesn't match anything...I don't get it....
Get something from your dealer.

I've registered in NY from out of state for4 years with no problems. I remember I was asked about the number of digits and told them that was the entire number and they said ok. The only time I ever had a prob was when we tried to register my dads 2 sleds in person - they wouldn't let me because they were "his" but I registered them in my name using the pencil tracing. I think a picture should work just as well. Even if the etching is tough to read it should show the number of digits. BTW my 97 SX7's vin is 9 digits 8CH-00XXXX.

Talk to a Manager at the DMV. Also Print this thread and bring it with you to show a manager. Once the sled is registered in NY, you won't have another problem.
I am a NY resident, and bought my 2 2000 SX700r's in Mass. and needed to pay NY Sales Tax on them when I registered them. NY just keeps collecting taxes on what ever they can.
