Hey folks...I'm new to this site! I was browsing through some posts on here earlier today and trying to figure out what year my bravo is?! The only number I got is on the side of the tunnel....(8BC-000254) I also read something on how the interpretation of the year changes after 94? Not really sure! Can anyone help me out with this?

Double check your vin, or disclose if your sled originated in Canada or somewhere in a European market.

The US bravos, prior to 94, had individual lettering to denounce the model year. Numbering like 88P, 82F, etc. When they got to the 94 model year, all the bravos used a 8BD moniker and the subsequent digits denounced the year. Based on your numbers following the prefix, I would slate your sled as a 94, assuming you mis-read the prefix digits. Again, this would be for US builds.

1994 Yamaha Bravo no power!

When I bought this bravo it started and idled fine but barely had enough power to move! I checked the compression and had 125, also checked all the windings on the stator.....(pulser coil - 20 ohms, charger coil - 385 which is a little low & lighting coil .3ohms)....next I swapped the carburetor ,fuel pump, secondary clutch and spark plug and even checked the airbox for blockage and still no go! Next I split the engine and found both bearings were really bad and crank seal was in rough shape too! Thinking this was the problem I rebuilt the engine with new bearings and crank seals, gaskets and piston! I also replaced all the fuel lines, cleaned up the electrical harness and connectors! After putting everything back together I had high hopes that this machine was gonna be fixed! Just a couple primes and one pull and she starts and idles really good with just a small adjustment on the carb! So I press the throttle and still the same as when I first bought it!! ? I know I had a combination of problems and fixed all of them as far as I can tell but now I'm hitting a wall of frustration with this and not sure where to turn next! Can anyone out there in the bravo skidoo world help me out with this?? Where do I go next!?
Thanks in advance!
