To find the VIN on your Polaris Sportsman ATV, look for a metal plate that is attached to the frame of the vehicle. The VIN will be stamped into the metal plate.
Once you have found the VIN, you can use the following chart to decode the year of manufacture:
* 10th character:
- A - 1990
- B - 1991
- C - 1992
- D - 1993
- E - 1994
- F - 1995
- G - 1996
- H - 1997
- J - 1998
- K - 1999
* 11th character:
- 0 - 2000
- 1 - 2001
- 2 - 2002
- 3 - 2003
- 4 - 2004
- 5 - 2005
- 6 - 2006
- 7 - 2007
- 8 - 2008
- 9 - 2009
For example, if the 10th character of your VIN is "H" and the 11th character is "5", then your Polaris Sportsman ATV was manufactured in 1997.
