Default Need model year for DF150

I just got my new motor. I was told it came out of dealer stock and was only advised that it is 2008 or newer. Can someone tell me the date of manufacture or model year?

S/N 15002F - 110209

The dealership told me that they no longer assign model years because it devalues unsold engines. Said Suzuki switched to S/N only in the last couple of years. I assume you can still get the date of manufacture??

Thats bloody wrong. ok so what happens when you go to sell your motor in a few years time you advertise it as a 2010 motor .

New owner checks up and finds that the motor that you sold in good faith believing that it is a 2010 is really a 2008 who gets kicked it the pants you or suzuki ?
They should be the same as cars they should have a run out of old stock .

there must be a register of ser numbers other wise parts would be impossible with any changes that have occured.

did you have a look at suzzys site or phone another dealer with the ser no you have and ask them what year the donk is

OK, so I guess that his explanation about them no longer using model years is incorrect... I am told that my new motor is a 2011. I was given the 6 year extended protection also and 2011 appears on the contract.
