I am wondering if the blasters use the same methode as the warriors, to find out what year the machine is?? Does it use the 10th digit and the letter/number corresponds to the year??? and is the years comparible, example a "W" is a 1998 warrior, is it the same for the blaster???

 

Yes.
All of the Japanese ATV's use this system including Yamaha.

It is the 10th digit.

 

Thanks KNOWSALOT, I appreciate the help.
