Should do as the part number is the same across all years
:cheers:

P.s.
If your needing to check parts across models over the years check here

The main changes happened between k4(double exhaust) and k5 (single echaust)
Where forks ,ecu,centre stand ,rear shocks,clocks and switch gear were changed .

Hi Blackbeard here
Have ordered a new throttle cable the bad news is it will take 8 weeks to arrive I'm a bit worried about the throttle body it's self sitting idle for the 8 weeks not being able to start the bike will this do any damage to the throttle body cheers

It should be fine give it a good swift if carb cleaner to make sure it doesn't get gummed up
I've had my project bike sitting for 3 years with no problems .
So 8 weeks should be ok .
Remember to adjust the free play correctly when you fit the new cables as it affects how smooth the throttle is especially at low revs.

Closest to airbox is throttle off. It goes to bottom at grip.
