I just picked up a Blaster for a hundred bucks that a guy had stored in a barn. It starts and runs and has all stock plastic and graphics on it. I was wondering what year it is? It is white, with purple and pink graphics and a purple seat. It also has purple wheels. Any ideas?? Im thinkin like a 91-93 area?

the year can be found out with the VIN number. located by the shifter, on the frame. just need the first few digits to figure it out.

your vin is interesting. 2XJ would suggest 1988, but the W is 1989. i would say a 1989.

U =1988
W =1989
A =1990
B =1991
D =1992
E =1993
F =1994
G =1995
H =1996
J =1997

not all letters are used, i see yamaha avoided C and I.

All this info is in the Clymers Manual. my clymers is from 97 and i don't have info for any models after 97.
