I acquired a canadian 1982 Yamaha motorcycle which has a short version VIN stamped on the frame neck and engine which is 15G- 000841. I would like to be able to register this bike so need the complete VIN but can't seem to find a valid 17 digit number.

In 1982 a 9 digit VIN code in Canada is acceptable. When the switchover to 17 digit VIN's began there was a grace period even into 1983 I believe. If Service Ontario is telling you they require 17 digits, they are wrong. Go to another location and you should be fine.
Thanks for the tip, I am in BC and will go in and get this sorted out today. It would have been easier with a registration but there was none where I picked up the bike
Yeah, I have both my bikes registered with short VINs right on the ICBC paperwork. 1976 and 1982
