cvw1973 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 If this is already covered somewhere, please forgive me and redirect me to where to look. My question is.....what are the differences between the 2015 & 2016 models, besides the colors..? I am planning to buy one towards the end of the month and have found a matte gray 2015 that is pretty nicely discounted. If price were not a concern, besides having a one year older bike, is there any major disadvantage to going with the 2015 model..? If the 2016 has great upgrades/benefits, then I am all for buying a 2016, I am just ignorant to what the differences are. Thank you all for any help..!

buddha1 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I picked up a 2015 model at the start of Feb for £7399, I couldn't turn it down, only went in to look for a new coat!! The sales bloke told me there are no differences other than paint, before I signed I saw some pre owned ones for more money.. Mine is not pre registered and I'm the first keeper. When I had mine serviced a week later the dealer told me that he had nearly sold all of his 2016 models already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvw1973 Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 Thanks, Buddha..! I went and put a deposit on a 2015 last night, will pick up in 2 weeks, after my wife and I close on a property. It's going to be a long 2 weeks, but will be fun, sort of like Christmas time, as a child...!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long is waiting 3 or 4 weeks with no forks on your bike for Traxxion Dynamics to get them back to you. That's LONG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomatocity Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 None, other than paint. If you are lucky you may get the improved oil sump but not guaranteed. You mentioned "improved oil pump". How can a new buyer know if there is an improved oil pump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can a new buyer know if there is an improved oil pump?Sump means sump, not pump, you chump. I jest, don't kick me in the rump. Anyway, it's less likely to break if you do a jump and land with a thump, especially if you're plump. Sorry all, couldn't resist giving this thread a bump.

Someone is being a grump, as if he had tripped on a stump. I would be too, if my sump took a bump. 2015 red FJ-09: Cal Sci screen, Sargent seat, ECU flash, slider combo, cruise, Rizoma bars, Matts forks, JRi shock, slipper clutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eeetea Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 What's the difference for the sump? How can I tell if I have old or new? What are the implications?
