How can I tell?

How can I tell what year my Honda atc 70 is?

[Russell 350X]

There is a tag on the frame where the steering stem is, it will say the year, model, ser.#, and month and year it was assembled.

Theres no sticker is there any other way to tell?

The atc 70 actually had there sticker on the right side of the frame, next to the air box. I see yours doesn't have it anymore though. Is it a 3 speed tranny or 4 speed? If 4 speed does it shift up into gear or down into gear?

[james9r9r]

It shifts down into gear?

[thefox]

It shifts down into gear?

3 speed or 4 speed?

[james9r9r]

On the fender it said ATC 70 4 Speed?

[thefox]

Down shifting 4 speed is a 1984.

[james9r9r]

If you look at my avatar doesn't it look like a 1984?

Post a pic of the tank and seat and we can find out the year easily.

If your tank is original then your 70 is an 83.

I would agree. I must have been tired last night, Honda switched to a 4 speed back in 82 so it could be an '82, '83, or '84. Tank decails are '83 ones though.

A frame vin # will tell all though!
