Guide on how to tell the year of a vehicle, atv, atc, dirtbike, etc

[3Wheelers4Life]

ok i have seen many members that dont know the years of some of their bikes. this is how you can tell the year. it should work for everything from 1980-2009 with a VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). including ATVs, ATCs, dirtbikes, cars, trucks, and more stuff. first find the VIN number. then go in to the 10th digit, reading the VIN from left to right. that number or letter is the year of the vehicle. then find the letter or number on the list below, and that is the year. see example at bottom. hope this was helpful.

1980-----A
1981-----B
1982-----C
1983-----D
1984-----E
1985-----F
1986-----G
