Does anyone know if the 05' shorty has the thicker sway bar, SR springs links etc. In 2004 from my understanding only the Warrior's had this. The shorty's still had the 10mm sway bar and prog. rate springs.

What are the front susp. changes for the 2005 shorty if any?
 

My understanding was that both 04 had updates. The RS get the new suspension in the front for 05 but that is to compensate for the positioning on the 3 cyl.

Read about the new vector on the news pages on yamaha-motor.com

They LOVE this sled... MAN i almost want one...

They called it LIGHT!!! and handles as good if not better than the VIPER!!

I find that hard to swallow..but if so... id buy one!!
 
Again " TOLD YOU TO WAIT " !!!!!!!!!!!

Will be a great trail machine but not a laker, doubt top end will be close to Viper as supposed to run out of legs at 100.

I saw the 05's and one thing I noticed is that the vector has the multi rate springs in the front. This didn't work on the RX, but maybe it will here. Also, they claim it's lighter, but lifting up the back and front ends it doesn't feel much better than the RX. Then again, it's hard to notice the weight just by feel.
