Hey Josh,

Here's an example from my bike:

JH2-JD01U-7-XK-xxxxxx

JH2 - Japan made m/cycle
JD01 - CT110/CT110-AG
U Australian Model
X - X model (1989 but built in 2002, model didn't change)
K - Kumamoto Factory in Japan
xxxxxx build no.

As for the engine numbers,
JD01E xxxxxx simply means CT110 E for ENGINE.

Damon
