Thanks for the screen shot.., that helped , 

the vin number isnt clear enough even after a bit of wire brushing and cleaning... the engine number however was great... 

Thanks guys.... seems like I might have the earlier one, no 4x4 selector.

also seems like the sticker has rubber off/been removed from the front of the frame.

feel I should add that this bike is in Australia too if that makes any difference.

where abouts will I find an engine number??

On my 98 ,the VIN is on the front crossmember under the front fenders. Very top flat L Shaped cross member. VIN is on top surface. I have seen someone here say which letter signifies the VIN. I don't recall.

 

Post a pic of the front/side of your bike(super easy on this site) and I'm sure someone can shout out the year of it. Being a 450. I 'think' they only offered them for a few years. I have a 450S that's a 98(first year). 04 is the end of that 'square' body style then they got a face lift. I'm not sure, though, what the look of the new one was. Post that first generation they moved to front disk brakes...but I'm not sure if the 450 survived beyond the first few years. Still learning myself

Thanks for that.... I’ll have another look when I back over to it on Monday... 

cheers

Hi guys, I’ve got a foreman 450 es and want to download a manual for it but not sure what year model it is.... how do I find out as I’ve already checked it all over for a sticker of plate to tell me

cheers

Hi guys, 

Just recently purchased a foreman 450 es.

Got the parts from the Honda shop to service the bike before I use it too much as it’s had a hard life, not shifting down gears very well and not even sure how to tell how old the bike is... can’t find any stickers or plates with information on them..

Hoping I can find a few answers buried here in the forum..

cheers
