same frame as 04
Junior Member
I saw a 2005 today, there is a new gusset in the front shock area. The rest looks the same.
PS the new shocks look and feel very good
Senior Member
I believe the frames are the same, but after the late 03's were switched the welds haven't broke as much. I have an 04 and am running MX with a aren's frame brace, so far no cracks, the paint hasn't even chipped off yet.
Junior Member
LOL the 04 frame seems to have no updates in strength, i would hope they will address the issues cause the Z frames suck!
Senior Member
I think they've addressed their frame problems in the form of shocks. Call me crazy, but I think a lot of their frame problems were the result of inferior front shocks bottoming out, and damaging the frame at the upper shock mount. Good front shocks SHOULD solve most of those problems. If you're racing you will probably still want to gusset it.
Back off boys..... She's mine!
