Thanks very much.
It's a 2002 FSE 400.

The FS is for 4-stroke.
400 is for 400cc.
Prior to 2002, the VIN number digit in that position would be part of the year number. In 2002, GasGas decided to conform to the US VIN code regulations and made the tenth digit a letter; instead of having it as the second digit of the year identifier.
"C" stands for the year 2002, as shown in your VIN.

I think the rest of the numbers, at least the ones at the end, have to do with the production number.

You can use this parts book, since they didn't do any real updates till the 2005 miodel, but I don't currently see the download of the engine workshop manual.

The update for your bike that really counted was to the 2004 Exhaust cam assembly.
There was also an update for the starter gear assembly.

Good Riding to You!
Jim
