I am looking at buying this berg long distance and need some help with year model. I was told 06 but seems wrong with a blue frame. I cant find this color scheme anywhere on the web...

blue frame could be 05 or 04, you are right, 06s had black frame. If the oil filler plug is really hard to get to and level with the ground it is an 04. 05 had a 45 bevel on the filler to make it easier.

They had made available the 10.5 L tank and shroud kit to older models, hense the belief that the bike is an 06.
 
I would say it is even older then '04. This taillight is used on a '03 and older. You can check it to be sure on the other side of the bike at the engine cover.
 
Michie, i believe that tail light was available right to the end as a choice over the 45 degree type.

It is possible that a pics was snapped of the wrong bike as a they have several for sale. So... any definitive answer on year and displacement of the bike pictured?


PS- I am looking to buy a 06-08 FS650E if this one doesn't work out. Any leads on one for sale in the US? I'd consider a C but an E is preferred. Shipping is fine if the seller has some good verifiable feedback. Title in hand only. Thanks!

Ow, I thought I had also the original one at home (now i've got LED) but seems to be something newer then.

The serial number will give you the answer for sure.
 
Yes, if Day51 can find the 10th digit of the frame number: that will be the year of model.

Copy that. 10th digit. Thanks.

BTW- Hello to all! Donald aka DAY51 in Austin, Texas

I think some of the '05's got the old style filler--I know mine did. Maybe I just have a collector's item.

its either an 05 with a plastics swap with 06 inc fuel tank or its an 06 with a frame swap to 05 or 04, an easy way to tell what the engine year is the first number is the year so if its a 5 its a 2005 eg 5 * 820 * 00001 *. 820 means its a 650, 800 its a 550, 810 means 450. The other 5 numbers are its unique serial number.
For the frame its the 10th number in or the 8th number back or the number before the M is the year. Take no notice of the date of manufacture as most models are marked when they were made in the previous year to the model release
If you give me the last 6 digits on the frame and the engine number i can tell you if its had frame or engine change after it left the factory.
