Default VIN Decoder

Anyone have access to a VIN decoder site? I recently bought a EC 250 and need to figure out what year it is (it is between 2003-2006).

Thanks,

Brian

Post the first 10 digits and we can decode it for you. Some used letters to denote the model year, while others had a number. If I recall, those years used a letter.

VIN Decoder:
1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits = Region/Country/Manufacturer
4th to 8th digits = Model
9th digit = Check digit or place holder
10th digit = Year (Note: some European VIN's use letters. 2000 = "0" or "A")
11th digit = Assembly plant
12th to 17th = Serial number

VTR XC200 1 0 3 010073
I highlighted the important digits in red.
You have a "XC200" and the model year is "2000".

The earlier XC's were brought into the USA with the lighter weight 2K-2 ignition and abbreviated wiring loom. No turn signals or horn, but did have a headlight and taillight will single toggle switch for the lights (typically mounted on the headlight shell).

EDIT: Don't forget to update your member profile with your location. It will help us answer your regional questions better in the future.

Welcome aboard!

How about this one?
VTRUS309905990047
?
Doesn"t seem to follow the rules too closely.
believe it's a 2000 model EC300,but has the 50 mm conventional fork?
What is it?

I believe it is a '99 EC300. The 30 stands for 300 and the 99 is the year model. The numbers toward the end denote the number/order of the bike in that year's manufacturing run.

You can tell for sure by the shrouds/seat it takes, unless the frame has been modified; same with position of the coil.

In 2002, the factory started using the standard system with a letter in the tenth digit position.

I suggest that every GasGas owner go to the www.GasGasmotos.es web site and download several different years' parts files, so as to be able to look at and compare numbers between years. There are some mistakes, and some of the drawings make various parts look obscure, but it really helps me when I order parts. I still have the parts books, but heavily rely on the computer files of the books.

It really helps to have the part numbers when making an order.
If it gets confusing, I will do what I can to help anyone out.
