I noticed some of the stickers on my 02 are not clearcoated into the paint. Is this normal on the 02? This may sound like a dumb question but I am asking for two reasons. 1- I would think all stickers would be clearcoated, and 2- It makes me think maybe my bike has been repainted. I can't find any other signs of a repaint but someone mentioned on another thread of mine that my bike should have gold rims but they are black. I find it odd that my rims would have been changed unless they were damaged in the past.

 

I bought my '03 new off the showroom floor, and the only stickers that were clear coated were the ones on the tank. I thought it was cool, made changing graphics a breeze.
