the 04 motors were fitted with an oil filter, a different cdi, and a throttle position sensor. the tachometer was also made digital so there are a few differences. but, if you got the entire setup, there shouldnt be a problem because the frames are pretty much the same.
oh yeah, also, any motor after 01 had a 3 jet carb instead of 2.
not 100% sure but from what i've read, those are things i've noticed.

not to hijack the thread, since its so related, has anyone put the newer style 3 jet carbs on their older style engine and noticed any perfomance gains?
