The 8th digit in the VIN can show engine size, type or emission compliance but is not always the case. If it is a 3 or C, it is an off-road engine/vehicle with less pollution controls. Digits 4-8 in your VIN describe your vehicle, but each manufacturer uses this space a little differently.

The 3 or C in the 8th digit of the VIN makes any bike a Red Sticker (limited season) bike in California.
