Here is a chart that I made that will help you identify what year your ATV is, by using the VIN. To use the chart, just find the 10th digit of your VIN, whether it be a number or letter, and match it up with the chart to find the year of your quad.

Vin Chart
The first letter (J), means it was manufactured in Japan.
The second letter (H), represents the manufacturer, which is Honda.
The third number (3), represents the type, which is an ATV.
The 4th-8th digits (TEO72), represents the body type and engine code.
The 9th letter (I) is a security code to prevent counterfeiting of VIN.
The 10th letter (N), represents the year, which is 1992.
The 11th letter (M), is the assembly plant, which is Hamamatsu of Japan.
The 12th-17th numbers (501259), are the production numbers, which increase for each ATV manufactured

Well Damn
Now I gotta go check the vin on my 2wd 300
Turns out the red 4wd is the 88 (J vin code) so either I have 2 88's a 2&4wd model or I really got the years mixed up on em (which would be no big surprise)
I know the blue 300's a 90, the 350's a 86, just gotta add the 2wd & red 4wd to the front of my repair manual so I'll have it on hand now that I'm working on em and riding them again ?
This gettin old crap really Sux!!! ?

Can't open the chart here... not sure why. Just a box with an X in it. Won't open. So if the 10 digit is a "1" does that mean 2001? Since I can't access the chart I am asking if I have it right.

I think it is an old link that has dried up , try this one
ATV Vin Number : Check and Decode Your VIN
That looks like a good de coder etc but I have a 2019 which is a K, and they show K as 2020. And J as 2019. Furthermore, I believe my 2019 was manufactured in about August of 2018. That's usual, as the 2019s of any vehicle would be manufactured from about August or September of 2018 to about June or July of 2019, unless they do a very short run of ATVs. Maybe only run 3 months of the year. Most other vehicles they run about 11 months of the year.

Since all the links in this thread have dried up and are no longer usable, I downloaded the image of the vin chart and converted it to a PDF file.
Everybody should be able to read a PDF file. If not, leave a post and I will see what I can do.
