Snowmobile VIN Check - Lookup and Decode By The NumbersA snowmobile VIN(Vehicle Identification Number) follows the same basic decoding rules as other motor vehicles. Snowmobile VINs have a standardized 17 digit number which can typically be found on a plate mounted above the front of the right side foot rest. Here are some snowmobile VIN number charts and information to help you decode your snowmobile's VIN yourself.Knowing how to decode your snowmobile VIN is important when it comes time to buy parts if you aren’t the first owner of the sled. I HIGHLY recommend you. Now lets decode a typical snowmobile VIN shall we? Meaning of the 11th to 17th digitsThe 11th Digit represents the assembly plant.The 12th to 17th digits stand for the number of units produced. The number increases by 1 for every snowmobile produced in that line.
The number 00001 for example would represent the FIRST snowmobile to roll off the assembly line for that year/make/model.There are exceptions to these basic VIN details but I hope this helps you figure out the basics as a starting point. When you know the year and make of your snowmobile it’s much easier to find out which engine options were available during that year and to register a snowmobile or find parts for it.

Additional FAQs - How do I get a free Snowmobile VIN check?There is currently no free service for snowmobiles, or paid service in fact, which makes learning to decode your own important. You may have some luck by visiting your local DMV and by entering the VIN itself online in a search engine to see if it was reported stolen by someone else. Take a picture of the sled and show it to a local repair shop and they may be able to identify the sled for you for the purpose of buying replacement parts.
