Look on the frame rail under the left side.. the serial number should be stamped into the frame..

go to an oem parts supplier (for example, cheapcycleparts.com) and look at their parts diagram.

look for the serial number on the frame.. sometimes there is a plate with the info you need on the steering head, or on one of the frame rails... then get the serial number off the engine case... they might match..:)
..If the Suzuki model/year/serial number plate is missing completely.. you may have purchased a "hot" one.. you can find the engine size by looking at the bottom of the outside of the cylinder.. it usually has the "cc" size cast into it... ie.. a "246 cc" would be a 250..
good luck.. be careful..
please mark as helpful.. thanks!!

look for a vin number usually by neck our engine cradle--some have numbers on manufacturers tag

go to scribd.com and it will show you the service manual and what the production numbers mean

2001 tenth digit in a 17 digit serial # is the year on all vehicles cars, trucks, bikes, ATV,etc.

all motors should have a serial number on it. search on the internet the first half of the number (or all but the last few numbers) and see if you can id it that way. i usually can .

Is this a 2WD or a 4WD? .. I believe its a 2005.
