Can't think of any reason they would be there shouldn't be any difference unless the used the Warrior setup on the first year and made changes the rest of the years. Usually when changes are made in the newer years it is because they made it better learning from their mistakes in the past.

Think it was a bunch of baloney. Probably because they wanted to move the older model out.

....I also agree with these guy's, I think the dealer handed you a big load of Bullsh*t just to move the old stock, no doubt you got a GREAT bike though....

Looking at the part #'s between the 08-09, there's doesn't seem to be any difference.

You can't go wrong with either bike.

thanks guys.i,ve learned a lot about the fuel inj. bikes latley seems the 08 bikes are easiler to work with than 09 and up.the epa required stricter standards for 09 and up.it seems u can do more with 08 system verses 09 and up.this straight from a yama tech.i freind of mine has a 2010 road* and i can leave him in any gear.just thought i would give some good info.
