hi all,
i keep seeing people advertise stuff as up to 2008 for the sv.
Is there any differance in pre 2008 and k8 onwards?

Just asking as i have a 2010 model and have not noticed any diffrence to the rest of the pointys.

I think its the twin spark. They have two spark plugs per cylinder rather than one.

So its just the engine and no bodywork or chassis differances then?
