early use regular gas - later uses premium
early has gloss finish and later models came in matt paint
Also later model has slightly different clutch cover design, tank size and bars to suit, r/r, different airbox etc,

WHAT???? Holy crap!!! I never heard that before. So what earlier years need regular and what years need premium, and why? If I have a '99 and have been running premium, in what way or how could it effect it. ie.... run crappy or anything else?

There are quite a few differences between early models and the later ones.
What exactly are you looking for? The most power or the most comfort?

Search for 53100-MBB-000ZA on a reverse part # lookup (like RonAyers) and you will see the handlebars are unchanged in all years. (description says 98-00, but it is used till 2005)

The PDF is for the euro models so I can't comment on those bikes.
They also left out the cam change.

As for the part numbers, well they do the same with the cams and we have found out they are different.
