Hi Guys,

Does anyone know how to tell what year a sherco bike is? and what cc as well, this came up in a conversation with a mate the last day and it got me thinking.....

Not sure on picking year other than being able to see the bike to see suspension, brakes etc, never really studied the frame number enough to see if there is year included in the number

Engine size is easier, first part of engine number gives the size ie st25 is a 250, st29 is a 290 & st12 is a 125

cut it in half and count the rings

stickers? maybe go on the sherco owners manuals page on the sherco website and see which one looks like yours? frame number?

Hi I had this problem as well for ordering a kick stand. To find the year you need to have the frame no. (located on the right hand side of your steering column) the 10th number is the year built. (For me it's 7, I have an 08 though.) For the cc you need the engine no. The engine number is located in front of your back suspension on the left hand side. There will be two letters before it then the cc. For me it's 250. Hope this helps :-)

Gets a bit confusing because a bike built this year(say November 05) will have a 05 vin, but it is indeed the 06 bike year model.

well my frame No. reads like this, UNBS125TRYA003710 can anyone tell me what year and cc the bike is from that.

Thanks Dave

2004 sherco 250. Couldn't restist it, It says so on the left !!! Best way is to phone or email sherco uk. Beta has a list of frame and engine numbers published on their site, I know it doesnt help with this topic but why can't sherco do the same.

All the motocross manufactures have given the acu list's of frame and matching engine numbers with years to help machine examiners at events identify stolen bikes.

Possibly 2000 model 250 going off the frame number on my Jarvis rep although are you sure of the Y in the sequence, my bike is VNBS129TR4A012873 & left the factory an hour before their summer holiday in 04

The tenth digit Y should be built in 2000 as I think, yet if a true 2001 model(end of year) will have contoured muff and different plastics with glossy frame, just different bike, in blue as compared to silver plastic..

Look at your wheels, they have date and year like 10-19 then you have a MY20. 03-20 is stil a MY20 but 08-20 is a MY21.
