+1

But bear in mind the tables here are predominantly for US bikes, so won't be as much help if you're from Europe, 'down under' etc.

The other answer to your question is that the format is explained in the front of the owner’s manual and service manual...if you are asking what each character in a VIN denotes.

Welcome to the forum !
Is it possible to get a picture of your bike and maybe a close up of the VIN too?
Also, are you in the States?

Are you sure it's not 513 - 1975 DT400 for Europe?

Is 513 a 1975?

Do you know if a 513 is a 'B' or a 'C'?

Thanks

"B" is a 75 and "C" is a 76. If Uncleal's info is good then you would have a 1975 DT400B.
