All of the years are the same. That's what happens when they get the design right the first time.

That's pretty much true.....but my service manual has some blue sections that cover differences in some ranges of year models. I assume they are minor; I haven't looked to see what the actual differences might be.

I think the manual covers the differences in production area like the CA model has a smaller tank, and the EU model might have some weird left-hend throttle assembly and the clutch on your right foot.

What I'm trying to say is - Europeans are weird.

You know, I just noticed today that the throttle/handle assembly (you know, the chunk of plastic that all the switches are on) are the exact opposite of each other. I guess the left-handed European throttle explains it...

Yes, coming from Europe it cost me quite some effort getting used to the US way bike controls are placed. Every time I wanted to use the rear brake, I pulled the clutch instead ! O_o
And the number of times I tried to throttle with my left hand... :??:
Good thing, now I have it more or less down with that weird US-right hand - throttle and foot pedal - brake thing. Although, sometimes when I want to switch gears, my right foot automatically goes onto the "clutch" pedal...

Well I guess it's just what you grew up in. We have our thoughts about Americans. Like long term gratitude for kicking the Germans out in '45. :2tup: And amazement about the "election" :bong: processes... Oh, thanks for the new smileys: :skull:
