Flores does ride an 05-06, as well as Jorian, Jesse Toler, many other US and euro killers. It is a great bike. I\'ve had mine since 07 with very little issues. I think the 03-04 was most popular because it feels most like an f4i, which is what more riders were switching from in the beginning. Both are good bikes. Parts for 03-04 are becoming more and more scarce. Many parts are interchangeable from 05-08\r\n

\r\n \r\n List of things I\'ve fixed on my 05 and upgrades. Spark plugs, coils, clutch, reinforced frame, fan runs all the time, clutch arm mod, rsc, atown steel subframe brace ( after breaking a subframe...weak garbage), get an r6 fan. My bike gets hot wayyyyyy too fast. Ill add more as I think about it

\nOh if u can\'t afford new rearsets modified 03-04 rearsets work great haven\'t broken em yet. But my 05s broke if I looked at them wrong so definately upgrade those\r\n

\r\n \r\n Might be a head valve gasket. I have this issue as well. Have had it ever since I got my 05. Rode for this whole season and still runs great! Also took some hard falls.\r\n

\r\n \r\n Clean the head, and you should see if it has a hair line crack. Look carefully.\r\n

\r\n \r\n I am pretty sure mine does not. This issue was when I first got my bike and it was never stunted. Stock FF bike. I looked as well and its no issues. Just the valve gasket. I had one go bad on my 08 but even worse, same look but more oil lol.\r\n
