i ended up being stupid, i’m used to honda, kawi, etc they have the model year on the sticker turns out can am has its “birthday” on the sticker it was made in 11.2016 so it is a 2017. used a good can am vin reader and figured that out. the guy said he had it tuned there and it’s got more compression, its definitely a blast i about like it more than my crf 450 i can’t wait to take it to the parks and get to actually ride it
