This is originally from 2014 but I had a discrepancy on my paperwork, so I've been trying to decode my VIN. In doing so, I've found some really don't work as expected.

Using the AnalogX link on the vin from my 2019 Scrambler I found it didn't work.

However, this decoder did work;

Here's the results for comparison - (My paranoia forced me the xxxx out some info.)

I don't see a color code mentioned in the data above on the vin look up?

 

[sikatri]

The first link didn't recognize it as a Triumph, the second link did. Very interesting.

The vin system doesn't include the vehicle colour/color.
