Final drive: "old style" or EVO?

Jeff488 · Nov 6, 2008

I have an '04 1150 RT and wonder if there's a way to tell which F/D is on the bike by it's manufacture date.

Anyone know?

If its an 1150 it is the "old style" as the "Evo" was introduced with the R1200's

OK, thanks.

Check November "ON" Magazine

Great article on FDs by Bill Shaw in November "ON" magazine.

My thanks to Bill, Paul and Anton!

And the big hole thru the center of the "Evo" FD is kinda obvious !!

That's kind of what I thought when I first saw the OP. Not much need to check serial numbers! :eek

I'm a relative newbie to the R bikes (bought my R12R a year-and-a-half ago). I found the ON magazine article about final drive failures very informative, but I was a little confused by the terminology. Does anyone know where I can find some solid photographs and/or schematics of a partially disassembled final drive (either EVO or "old" design)?
