What's the difference - '05 to '06?

[Logan #34's Dad]

I'm sure it's been asked before but...
What changes were made from the '05 model to the '06 and newer?
Is the frame geometry the same?
Engine the same except the transmission internals?
ECT....

Yeah a completely different bike. The front end was changed (some prefer the 05 front end) The frame was changed however frames can be interchanged with some work. The motors were completely different inside and out. Longer swingarm on the 06+.. FCR carb for 06+....which one you choose is al personal preferance it seems
