how to tell year of yfz motor?


Recommended Posts

i bought a yfz450 a little while back, and one day i went to go ride it and it was running and it coughed and shut off, i went to go kick it over again and it was locked up. I gave it a hell of a kick and it broke free, started and did the same thing 3 mins. later. So i parked it drained the oil and it was full of metal shavings :cheers: So i pulled the plug out and kicked it over again and it still does it. I posted on here before and the main response i got was that the cranks bad. im about ready to tear into it but i have one main problem, i was told the quad was an 05 and the motor was an 07. But i was also told when i bought it that it had stage 3 hot cams and when i took the cam cover off they appear stock :ride: but once i rip it apart and find the actual problem, i still dont know what year to buy parts for an 05 or 07 . Is there anyway that i can runn the numbers on the motor or any tell tale signs what year the motor is? Thanks guys!
