    differences in atc 185 years 1980-83

    well i got a atc 185. tank has been sprayed over a couple times. no front suspension. so how can i tell what year it is? the sticker is torn off and the vin decoders never work for me so i dont bother with them.

    If the left and right fenders and seat are all seperate pieces it is an 80 185. If the seat and fenders are together it's a 185s

    alright if the headlight switch is on the headlight and the kill switch is on the throttle it's an 81. If it has a combination switch on the left handlebar it's an 82
