05, 06 ??? 9 Months, 1 Week ago  
Guess I'll break the mold on this new forum. By the way - nice job on the site.

Since it's stamped on my frame I chose this forum. My date of manufacture is 10/05 but I was told to order all my parts for an 06 - which is what I've been doing with no problems.

Question is - do I have an 05 or an 06? When I talk about my bike do I say 05 or 06, etc.? What got me thinking about it was SVS and it's tendency to strike 05's. Anyone else think about this?

That late in the year I would say it's an 06. What does the title say? Unless you are going to work on the heads or replace the shifter I don't think there is any difference.

They changed the valves too. I think those are the only things though.

Mine is 8/05 and is listed as an '06. So the '06's began manufacture as early as August of '05. I bought it in Nov. of '07 as a new '06 and it had
0 miles, so it was probably sitting in a create for a long time.
