To determine the model year of your Kawasaki 360 ATV, locate the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), usually found on the frame or near the engine. The VIN typically includes a specific code that indicates the year of manufacture. You can also check the owner’s manual or any documentation you have, as the model year is often listed there. Additionally, contacting a Kawasaki dealer with your VIN can provide you with accurate information about your ATV's model year.
