That is not the VIN number, the vin is a 17 characters (numbers and letters) that is stamped on the head tube between the handlebars and the front fender.
If this is the vin number from there, it is a pre 1981 bike and no way of tracking it. You would need to check with your local Suzuki shop and see if they can help you find the year model.
The VIN JS1RF15A000500961 indicates that your RM 125 was manufactured in 2000. The 10th character of the VIN, which is "0", represents the model year. Therefore, your RM 125 is a 2000 model.
10th digit in on the vin trouble is finding the vin!
1994 SUZUKI RM125
The tenth character is the model year = 2005
I have found out that the year of manufacturer is a 2001 Model.
VIN should be 17 characters long. The tenth character denotes the year.
1996 SUZUKI RM125
The tenth digit in the vin identifies the year. The "t" in your vin identifies your bike as a 1996.
on the gooseneck of the frame
the tenth digit which in your case is a t makes this bike a 1996
