I recently purchased a older Yamy quad for use around the farm. I bought it locally for under $1000.
It was listed as a 2001 BB 350 with Hi/lo. I later found out that is was an impossibility due do Yamy not making a BB 350 in 2001. The Hi/lo was confusing also since Yamy generally removed the dual range somewhere around 97.
I looked for the VIN in the places mentioned on this site but was unsuccessful in finding it. There is some scraping on the lower frame on the left side by the foot gear shifter that may have removed the number. There is a skid plate on the lower frame between the front tires that I have not removed that may be hiding the VIN.
The quad has had the stickers removed, and spray painted camo to better hide it in the bush at a hunting camp
Without the VIN or knowing for sure the year I am having a hard time ordering parts. The carb is leaking fuel out of the bowl drain/overflow and is in need of a rebuild with new needle and seat.
After researching online, I think this is a 2000 BB 350 special edition/professional. But online pats lookups do not list a 350 in 2000, and the 99 350 show square headlights.
I am hoping someone can identify this machine and provide me a model number. Or, guide me to find the VIN number so I can get the model number. Or provide me with a link to a parts lookup that lists the quad I have.
The facts:
The motor is stamped 348cc on the cylinder. It is a 350.
It has the close together round headlights. See pic of same style lights.
Under the spray paint the main body color is Blue. See pic of quad with same color.
It has a hi/lo/reverse shifter on the left side where the drivers knee would be.
This seems to be a mysterious combination with little information on the internet.
I appreciate any help given.
Thanks
