I thought I'd seen a table somewhere with engine/frame numbers and there build dates eg: 3X1 000100 - 3X1 000400 were built 3/80
must have been on the UK site?
I'm not overly concerned as I've been assured I can get historic rego without a Blue slip/engineers certificate where a compliance plate & build date are required..........hope its true
But I'd like to get a true build date for the Pink slip rego inspector to put on his paperwork

In that case your knackered.
I would assume the compliance plate on the frame...is the build date .
I can t see anything other than the month and year being provided at the time of build by yamaha...as per the id plate on the headstem.
I would think the compliance plate was installed on the frame during assembly to match the engine number.
No number....no way to tell.

Do we have the resources to put a month and year build date to a frame with VIN# 5N5 000287  and a motor # 3X1 000187 ?
