Re: parts
not really mate, the only changes are after 2002 when they changed the tank size to 19L, fuel tap replaced with a regulating valve, bar height is a bit higher, uprated r/r, semi-digital clocks and different decals.
the next facelift (iirc) was 2005 (?) when they changed the design of the master cylinders and went to a full digital dash - the levers off a post 05 model probably wont fit yours, and the indicators are different too, a bit smaller but same basic shape.
there's other subtle changes over the years like on the later ones the timing & clutch casings are a bronze colour instead of black, the wheel colour is different and different colours were introduced over the original red yellow & black.
iirc teal, orange, & silver were 2001-2 with a different shade of yellow, then later there's a nice metallic blue added.
the actual mechanics & running gear didnt change over the years to my knowledge.
post 2005 models will probably have the later type camchain tensioner - which is still crap.
you will find all parts from any year will fit yours - all the plastics are the same over the years, footpegs, gearchange, hangers etc.
what parts do you need?
*edit - sorry i just saw your other post... good luck finding a clutch casing - they are not cheap.
i think tony mon may have a spare.
you will need a gasket for it as well (silvers) plus coolant & oil.
is it holed or just scuffed.... you can get nice carbon covers for them if its just marked up.

You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.
Re: parts
Nope, no spare clutch cover, sorry.
The other thing that changes, apart from paint codes, is the PAIR system on some later bikes.
It's some extra pipes from the top of the cam covers into a device under the tank on the RH side, and some vac pipe connections, leading into the airbox.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
