i have a kodiak that was givin to me and i don't know the year to get it worked on....does any1 know where the VIN# is located on this quad? if u know of a website that will have a picture where its located at? i was told it is a 400 2x4...person said they think its a 98 but when i went to get a part they place said they don't show a listing for a 2x4 400 for a 98. he told me to get the VIN# and he could find out....any1 got a clue where its at cause i don't...lol

 

It's stamped into the frame in the front left wheel well.

The tenth digit is the year.

Mine is *********1*******. (I didn't feel like digging my real VIN out)

So mine is a 2001.

 

thanks for the info...is it on the underside where i got to look upward to find it or is it to where i look down?

 

i went out and looked i didn't see anything on left side would it be underneath where my skid plate would be covering it?

 

i looked everywhere i didn't see it

 

Locate left front lower A-arm, Move back on lower frame rail approx 8", it is stamped into the lower frame rail on the side so you should be able to see it from kneeling behind front tire. On some machines that were riden in tall grass or brush numbers can be rubbed thin and hard to read. Hope this helps, TORK.

 

thanks for the info i'll go and look
do i need to turn the tire?

 

It would help to turn it to the right. TORK.

 

is there anywhere else i can look cause i think it got rub off cause i still don't see it thanks you all your time and info

 

I'm not sure if there is anywhere else.

Turn your wheels to the right, and look in the left front wheel well.

You should be able to see the black frame. It's just an imprint, so it won't really pop out. It doesn't say "VIN" or anything either, it's just that set of numbers imprinted.

Take some window cleaner and clean that piece of framing in the wheel well. I doubt it rubbed off, but I don't know.

If you still can't find it, I'll research other places the VIN might be. Though, I don't imagine it would be anywhere else, seeing as how the only truly unique piece of your machine is the frame itself.
