kawiking Posted February 26, 2006 Report Posted February 26, 2006 i bought a shee a couple of months ago from a guy .he was the 2nd owner. he wasnt sure if it was a 97 or 98.my motor number is 3gg-218949, can u use this to identify the year?? thanks. not stolen! Quote
daryn c Posted February 26, 2006 Report Posted February 26, 2006 motor number doesnt mean nothing its the frame number... look behind your a-arm on the left side of the frame.. by the shifter! and give those numbers Quote
Shee-Male Posted February 26, 2006 Report Posted February 26, 2006 there should also be a sticker on the frame tube that the front left engine mount bolts to, it should state the year of production. Quote
kawiking Posted February 26, 2006 Author Report Posted February 26, 2006 this may be aftermarket frame. i also painted frame after i got it. didn't find a vin. it hasnt been grinded on,thats why i think aftermarket. Quote
iceman Posted February 26, 2006 Report Posted February 26, 2006 the paint might have filled the vin up. Quote

woodro77 Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 motor number doesnt mean nothing its the frame number... look behind your a-arm on the left side of the frame.. by the shifter! and give those numbers 479065[/snapback] that is not true, if you look in the front of a CLYMER book for the banshee you can go by motor or frame numbers. those numbers are not from a 97 or 98 ,my book only goes up to year 2000 and your numbers are not in it,(book is a couple years old). looks like it mite be newer than 2000 ,from the #s you give they are higher than 97 , 98, or maybe you gave wrong #s Quote
Banshee~ Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 By looking at the clymers book im guessing its an 01. Like woodro said it stops giving the years after 2000 Quote

kawiking Posted February 27, 2006 Author Report Posted February 27, 2006 good call iceman!! when out and looked again,i guess the paint filled it in. you have to have the light hit it just right. 98'-jy43ggaoxv. thanks everybody!! Quote
