Welcome to YF! Here is what i found.

depending on the year of any bike it can be in several locations.
Most older bikes have the VIN located on the neck of the frame right behind the front number plate.

Newer bikes have them on the right side of the frame rear the radiator with a sticker placed by the dealer, if this bike has this sticker it may also be stamped into the neck of the frame, manufacturers will do this incase the sticker is missing the frame will still have a VIN.

Have you checked in those areas?

yes, ive checked absolutly everywhere and the only numbers i can find are on the engine block which was only 6 numbers long, and i looked on the stock rim off the bike and i cant seem to find any relating to the vin number

Aftermarket frame? Numbers ground off? They have to be somewhere. Do you have the title? Stupid question but it should have the VIN on it.

nope not aftermarket, i dont have the title i traded the bike to a guy who picks up bikes, fixes them and then sells them

Maybe the number was taken off and the bike is stolen? I dont know. All i do know is the bike should have a number on the frame. Something isnt right with it not haveing a VIN number.

if i sent a picture of the frame would that be of help? i ordered fork seals and a back fender for a 2000 yz250 and those seemed to fit, and what tool would i use to check the size of the piston, im just now figuring out that my piston is oversized

Maybe? Juat use a tape measure and use millimeters. Maybe that is why the tranny is different. They might have upgraded the tranny because it is bored out. My bike is bored out and have had problems with my tranny because it cant handle the stress.

where could i enter the seriel number thats on the engine? i need some way to find out what year this bike is
