If you have a title then it's on there. I don't know what that number is but it's not a VIN. Don't ever post the VIN in public. It's a 17 digit number and letter combination stamped into the frame. The 10th digit is the year code. 1995 is the letter "S". There are a couple of places to look it up online. Like this: http://www.atvstyle.com/index.php/atv-vin-number

 

OOOh thats a good point jumbo about not posting the VIN online!!!!!

 

I thought so tancat. Some people will post their phone number too, instead of just sending a PM to one specific person. If you Google the phone number it makes a map right to their house. Microsoft Virtual Earth will zoom in close enough to count the vents on the roof and bikes in the yard. There's no reason to give out personal information like that to the whole world.

 

you'll need the model # to find out what it is. on my 400L it's w957540. it should be on the top side where you found the serial#. the first 2 numbers is the year. go to bikebandit.com or rockmountainatv.com. and look up parts for your quad it will show the model numbers for that year.

 

thanks everyone are atv like cars where they split the model year? a late 95 is actually a 96 if so what is the month they split? still havent found the vin but will keep looking any suggestions on where on the frame?

 

If you do find a model number it should have a 50 for 500cc engine near the end. It should be something like A06MH50 but with something like AA or AB after the 50. If you find the VIN you can look it up to see what year it is without even knowing the model number. The VIN is always stamped into the frame, sometimes in 2 or 3 places. Check between the front tires and the floorboard. It may also be on the top of the frame if you take the seat off. The older models may not have it there, but it's worth a look.

 

my model and serial number is beside the gear selector on the frame above the exhaust pipe

 

It seems like they sometimes move them around on different models and different years.
