What do i have - VIN lookup

300 Views 5 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  rtmillerx
I bought a Honda off of an older gentleman that is no longer around.
After several years of use the electronic shift is not working and I'm trying to buy a bypass kit and can't tell exactly what I have. Can anyone help by decoding the VIN...

Try this: faxvin.com/vin-check/atv
I'm interested in where on the quad you found that. Do you have a winch, ours does and I'm wondering if it might be underneath there.
No winch. That vin is in the same cross bar area that a which would mount... in the front flat (low) behind the headlights.
How is that accurate? 10th digit says it is a 2009 and the look up says 21 yrs old. I'll call honda tomorrow this shouldn't have taken this long.
Thank you all.

10th digit is a 2, isn't it? that means 2002?
You have 2002 Honda Foreman 450, you can tell by the front skid plate
Its either a 450S if its a foot shift or a 450ES if its an electric shift
A picture of the WHOLE ATV would help a lot
Also, most likely your electronic shift probably needs a angle sensor replaced-
its cheaper than the bypass kit and keeps your machine stock
Your gear position indicator should be flashing a code if you have a fault
You can look the code up in the Honda factory service manual
Come over to atvhonda dot com if you want REAL help, these forums here went South a long time ago.
Its free to join and you can download the Factory Service Manual as well for free
Hope to see you over there
