how can i tell the year model of a Yamaha 80 dirt bike serial number 367-230432
The vin Number for a Yamaha PW80 can be located in 2 places. 1) At the side of the frame where the forks clamp into the yokes. (Turn the handle bars to the right & then look at the frame between the petrol tank & the forks on the left). 2) On the left hand side of the engine. BOTH OF THESE NUMBERS SHOULD BE VERY CLEARLY VISIBLE & BOTH NUMBERS SHOULD BE EXACTLY THE SAME! If they aren't, the bike may have had another engine fitted or if not clearly visible may have been stolen.
Yamaha made the first Yamaha dirt bike
Kawasaki Kx500, any year will do, but the best bike for a beginner is a Yamaha yz490
A kx65 is a race bike for skilled riders and has a powerband. it tops out at 65mph stock thats why its a racebike. Although a two stroke a pw80 has no powerband and is a begginers bike. PW stands for pee wee. It tops out at about 40 to 45. It is more of a trail bike for beginners bike. Hope this helped.
