How can you tell the model year on a Sportsman 500?
VIN 4XACH50A31A370776

Also, when searching for parts, what do the numbers/letters in parentheses mean or relate to?
"SPORTSMAN 500 (A00CH50AB)"

The 10th digit of the VIN is the year. According to your VIN, it's a 2001 model. Sorry, can't help you with the model number.

the end part refers to the color code and decal package and sometimes if it was an LE with special stuff on it like a Browning edition. Everything else should be the same from bike to bike.

I am pretty sure that B is for Blue.

I had a 99 and currently have a 2001. Both of them indicated the year of manufacture on the plastic, between the headlight and the front rack.]
