How to tell what year Summit I have?

[ihscoutii]

I bought a either a 2000 or 2001 summit 700, not too sure what year it is. The guy said it was an 01, but everything ive read about it the 01 came stock with a 144" track and he claims it is a 136".

So how do I find out what year sled it is?
And how do I know what size track I have?

it should say on the tunnel

Look at the MFD Date on the tunnel - If it was built in 2000 it shoud be a 2001 model. Measurement from the back of the seat to the outside edge of the rear bumper should be around 16" if it is a 144.

My ol' mans got a 2000 151 and it says "series 2000" on the tunnel right inder the gas tank.

The best way to tell year is by the VIN.
Look at the character before the "V"
it should look something like this: 2BPS.....YV000069
the Y means it is a 2000
if there is a number there, like the number 1, then it is a 2001. 2=2002 and so on.

I can get a picture probably next week, but it sounds like its a 2000 according to the vin, correct? 2BPS15634Y000127 Thanks.

Big difference between 2000/2001, 2000 had round slide carbs 2001 had flat slides

2000

If its a 136 and its liquid cooled it is a 2000

The 10th digit in any vin indicates the year. So yes, the letter y in makes this is a 2000. In 2001, the 10th digit starts at 1=2001, 2=2002 and so on up to 2010. I don't know what the code will be after 2010
