Polaris removed their decoder possibly for security reason. Same for few other decoders I saw. 10th digit is the year model,which in your case it is a 2001 model.The "BA50A" indicates it's a 500 engine. Rest of the info is broken down in this chart.

Here's another VIN decoder that gives you some information on what it all means. The main thing most people want is the model year which is the 10th digit like OPT said. The link at the botom of the page leads to a VIN check page. ATV Vin Number : Check and Decode Your VIN

That's one of the decoders that didn't give much info or really none at all. The dealers vin# check can give you the complete history. Date of manufacture,date of first sale, original owner info,plus any warranty claims done and those that haven't been completed if any. They can't turn something like that loose for public access.

I found a Polaris site that's supposed to decode the VIN if you enter your name and ZIP code but it looks like it's for snowmobiles only. I've seen several other VIN decoders that don't tell you much beside the country and the year. At the link I posted the decoder doesn't seem to work right but at least it tells you what each digit means. Most of the other decoders I've seen don't even give you that much information.
