Had it for a while and would like to know what year it is, is it a code number or something where would I look.

 

The vin number will tell you. 10 digit is they year code.

Explanation of vin numbers.

VIN decoder.

 

If the vin is in the same location as it is on my 250, it will be on one of the frame tubes under the left front fender.

My father has one at the cabin that hasn't run for about 9 years. One of these days I'm going to rescue it and restore it. I believe it's an 84, but I'd have to check .

 

Wouldn' be surprised if you went out there and it would start on the first try. Just dump the old gas and refill and give it a try.

 

That's basically what I did with the 88 250 I rescued from my father as well. Lil bit of fresh gas and varoomm

You just can't kill those machines.
