I wars needing the rectifier, therefore I needed to know the year model. I went ahead and tore into it so that I could see the rectifier part number. The rectifier was for a 2002, so I have a 2002. I bought 2 of the Bear Trackers in the past from the same guy. The title shows one to be a 1999 and the other a 2000. The vin numbers on the titles were VERY close to the other! He bought the quads at the same time brand new. WEIRD!

good news... I managed to get most of the afternoon off so I went and picked up the other bike. It is in far better condition than the one I currently have... other than the seat being completely destroyed. I didn't have much time to work on it tonight but I did get the seat off to do some poking around. The previous owner was not kidding about the thieves. They must have only stolen the bike for the carb, they cut every line going to it off except for the choke cable. I guess they took the time to unscrew it. However the broke the plastic fitting to the vacuum pump off in the line, so it was nice of them to mark it for me. The throttle cable they just cut, so I am ordering one now. They also stole two of the shifter knobs and the shifter panel on top of the gas tank. Looking like this one may be good to drive after just swapping over the carb from the old bike, flushing out the gas lines, new spark plug, oil change and hook up the battery. That would be a much needed break. It has about 900 miles on the odometer. I plan on getting her going and then starting to break into the old bike, should be a little easier now that I have another reference behind me other than the online parts schematic. The back plastic does have a big crack in it, I can patch that with a piece of aluminum and some rivets.
