Default What year is my quad?

I just bought a Trailboss and I'm not sure of the year.

It is blue, and has the little pull **** shifter down behind your right ankle. I assume there is a dead giveaway in the VIN, where do I find that?

Also, I would like to add a little snap to the clutch engagement, anything I should look to adjust first before I look to change springs?

Thanks


Edit* Here's a link to my photobucket pics of it. Appreciate the info.

Just a guess, but it could be an 02/03. What size is the motor? What decals are on the machine? Pics would be great.

And for the spring, probably a pink EPI, about 20 bucks.

I don;t know pink is the spring for you as it looks like a 250 two stroke. same motor as a trail blazer I dont; have one but I know there are some guys on here that can help you hook that thing up.

Yes, it is the 250 2 stroke.

I'm not sure how much snap this thing should have, but it seems a little doggy. Its tough to tell when you are used to riding a 650 twin. I clocked it at 44.1 with my GPS, and I feel that is a fair speed for this quad. It feels like it revs slow and the clutch engagement feels very soft.

EPI pink isnt a good choice for 2strokes(great for 4stroke TBs) try either a Polaris white or green.

the vin number could be under the seat on a cross bar of the frame and yes it is a give away.
the quad looks to be a mid 90's to me...

to find your year there should be a sticker on your pull start cover. the first 2 digits are the year of your bike. if you can't read that or its gone, your vin number should be on a sticker on your nose piece, if thats gone it's engraved on the frame on the left side below the motor and slightly in front of it.
