Help / Advise needed please

Postby PBBoxer » Wed Jul 28, 2004 9:20 pm

Hi,
Can anyone tell me please of there were any major changes between the 1998 models and the 2003?
My boxer cup 03 has been mashed up quite a bit but i have access to spares from a 98 "s".... I am looking at bits such as the frame, subframe, levers, clock brackets etc....
Anyone any info pls?

Hi PB - that's me with the breaking S - it was Julians bike until recently. Can't help you with advice re changes etc - I've got a 2000 model and the bits 'look' no different to mine, but I'm not 100% sure

Differences between '98 and now...

Brakes (bigger rotors and larger calipers '00 onwards)
Suspension lengths & torque arm lengths change by the hour but all shocks carry exactly the same damping rates
Same frame
Same sub-frame
Same wheels (in the 2 sizes obviously)
Different Motronic box from '00 onwards - same spec but different fit; Twin spark no doubt different again
Oh...and the mirrors now fit on the 'bars.

Apart from that they're all the same - any stuff about 'uprated suspension' on the Sport and another 10bhp blah blah is purely journo's not knowing their arses from their elbows.

The bit's you're after will be fine - hope you get sorted ok :)
