Is het een facelift die je in de prak gereden hebt, aangezien die van 2008 is? Je zal alles moeten veranderen. De luchtinlaat is anders die achter de bumper zit, SP is een gewone buis, bij de HP zit er een ventilator op die aanslaat hoog in de toeren. De motor is anders: een verbeterde versie, extra poort, bobines zijn anders geplaatst, overdruk olie zit niet meer in de luchtinlaat maar in de motor... Software is anders. De SP heeft 5 versnellingen, de HP heeft er 6. En er zijn dan nog talloze mechanische verbeteringen die ze aangebracht hebben in 2006 en 2008. De 2004 is de oudste versie met nog al de kinderziektes erin. Ik denk dat je als leek hier niet moet aan beginnen. Tenzij je garagist bent en dan nog!
Hier heb je een lijst met wat er verandert is bij de 2008.
