Late 2001 updates:
|
Logo on rear of frame - The "XL" cutout
was added.
Auto rotation Hub update - The early gold auto rotation hubs had a problem
where the bearing sleeve would slip inside the hub. This was resolved by
grinding flats on the sleeve and inserting set screws in the hub. |
Early 2002 updates:
|
Two changes were made to stiffen the
frame assembly. According to X-Cell "These two changes have SIGNIFICANTLY
enhanced the rigid nature of the frame, …"
Motor mount spacers - The two spacers were replaced with the block #115-53.
Bottom frame rails - The bottom frame rails and spacers were replaced with
the g10 bottom plate #115-57. |
Late 2002 updates:
|
Swash plate update - The original swash
plate did not have the cutouts for getting to the inner links. The updated
titanium swash plate with the cutouts was added.
Clutch driver update - The bearing block was changed to a threaded block (versus
through holes) to prevent bearing preload. The Driver bearing sleeve was
updated from aluminum to steel.
The new bearing block can be identified by having threaded mounting holes. I
believe the new driver units can be identified by the set screws in the
clutch driver. |
Early 2003 updates:
|
Clutch Bell - Updated to black color.
Frame logo - The "XL" cutout was changed to "Fury".
Parts coloring - All gold and black replaced with titanium color.
Tank Fitting - The original tank had a straight fitting feeding the engine.
This required the bubble in the side of the canopy. In 2002 the angle
fitting was released but as an option. Sometime in 2003 it became standard
in the kits. |
