I'm fairly sure all the mechanical, motor specs, and such have remained the same, but if you haven't already, you might want to consider the purchase of a set of aftermarket tie-rods. A riding friend of mine found out the hard way when both tie-rods were bent the same day trail riding. There are several different forums (Kawierider, etc...) that have riders exclaiming their dislike for the stock tie rods and how they have gone through two or three sets since purchase of their 700. The 700 is awesome to ride, but too heavy for those skinny tie-rods. My friend broke his right arm when a rock bent the left and set him into a bank, turning the quad on it's right side. My 450R and YFZ450 tie-rods are about the same diameter as the stock 700's. Here's what he replaced the stock with.
Happy riding!
