Here's why:
* Yamaha used the same engine case numbers for multiple years. Engine case numbers don't change every year. They might be used for several production years.
* Production dates can vary. Yamaha doesn't always produce bikes for a specific year at the same time. There can be overlap.
To determine the year of your Blaster, you'll need to do a little more research:
1. Check the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number): The VIN will be the most reliable way to determine the year of manufacture. You can find it on a metal plate on the frame of your Blaster.
2. Look for specific model features: Some specific model features, like the exhaust, seat, and handlebars, can help you narrow down the year.
3. Consult a Yamaha parts catalog: You can find Yamaha parts catalogs online that will show the engine case numbers used for different years.
4. Contact a Yamaha dealer: A Yamaha dealer can help you identify the year of your Blaster by looking at its VIN or providing information about the specific engine case number.
Let me know if you have the VIN or other information, and I might be able to help you further.
