Need help identifying the year of our new Blaster!

[troyleming]

We just traded an old Yamaha IT250 dirt bike for a Blaster and we're not real sure what year it is?

Serial number is:

JY43JM036YA016767

Do Blasters have titles?

The plastic is ALL blue in color and it has a black Yamaha lettered seat...

Thank you in advance for your help!

we need some pictures of this thing to get a better look, the first body style was 88-02, 03-06 they went to the newer style headlight and the newer nose piece, hydrolic brakes, and a few other smaller things

Thank you guys for the help! I used to own a Blaster several years ago and sold it when j bought my utility ATV... This one belongs to my 14 year old who wants more power than the 300EX he rides now. Hoping the 2 stroke really makes a big difference for him...

300exs are terrible compared to blasters for quickenss, they beat blasters on alot of things such as suspention, but a blaster would walk all over a 300ex any day

I am extremely interested in that bumper and will pay decent cash and trade for a stock one.
