ok so i bought a 1988 yamaha 4 wheeler and would like to know what it is.heres the vin #jy42hr000jc050585.its a 350 big bear i think but unsure if its a yfm350fw or just a yfm or just a 350 or if its a big bear at all.there are no decals left just the vin # on the frame.i need parts and need to know every detail in order to get parts.also what years were interchangable for parts.thanks for all help possible.

 

My local Yam dealer always asks for info from a white sticker on a frame tube under the seat when I order spares, these don't seem to get removed or lost. Sorry I can't help with the vin.

 

here's all i got.
