does his shift down or up. If his is up, then its indeed an 85. If it shifts down then its an 84 or lower

**Dusty** · 10-03-2006, 04:54 PM

yea but i dont member mine shifting down......

The VIN on the frame will tell you the year.

almost any time you see an off road vehicle that has been painted, be it a dirtbike, atv, snowmobile, etc, it is stolen. Only a moron or a theif paints atv fenders, i have seen it many times

Unfortunately there's a lot of both running around out there.

I have my house up for sale right now. If I sell it I'm going to have to store my trikes in a public self storage facility. Scares the hell out of me just thinking about it.

Damn. Too bad youre in AZ... You could store 'em here... I could make room.

Seriously, good luck. Public storage is a horrible thing.

**RideRed250R** · 10-03-2006, 11:09 PM

best thing is... you dont have a pink for the bike (probably) and so even if you find out its a 84... who knows what happens from there

He might have bought it from the guy that stole it, making him inocent............

Puts you in a bad spot to get the bike bake without proof of ownership. Im scared to death to lose one of my three bikes I dont have titles for.

Good luck.

**TtownJoeShow** · 10-04-2006, 04:19 AM
