08 vs 09 whats the difference???

[bubsyfz450]

I got sponsored by a local can am dealer, and i can get a yellow 08 ds for over half off. but i was just curious whats the difference between the 08 and 09? what changes were made? ive been racing yamahas since 04, and rode a few of the can ams and loved them. if anyone can help me, that would be greatly appreciated.
thanks again

Well here is what I gathered..right, wrong, or indifferent....

1. New clutch cover to allow more oil flow. Not sure this solved the problem of baskets breaking ruining motors, time will tell....I personally doubt it!

2. New steel a-arms and new arm/frame brackets.Was forged aluminum.

3. New shift fork

4. No headlight voltage regulator and new headlights

5. New thrust washer under valve springs to make common with V990 engine.

6. New color option. Red.

7. Not sure about 08 sproket ratio but
09 is 13-38

8. Limpo mode can be changed at the dealer. Think that happen late 08.

9. False nuetral has been fixed.
