The video is not working. Some still shots of the frame steering head, showing the month/year of manufacture decal, and the stamping of the VIN will help decide what you have. The number for the engine stamping (left rear upper surface) too. You might need to use some chalk or a graphite pencil lead to make the stampings stand-out.

The first model year world-wide is 1985. Typically the production shuts-down in the summer, and the next year's production begins in say, September, for the next year's bikes.

Do you have a VIN decal on the steering head? They come stock with several forms of identification, that being one of them. The steering head decal should match the VIN # stamped into the frame. The engine has a number stamped into it, but with some work, a 2007 engine will fit a first-year (1985) frame. The bikes used a different type of oil filter from 1996 or thereabouts, a spin-on self-contained oil filter. The bikes from 1985/first year of production, to about 1995, used a cartridge filter, an exposed-pleats filter element which fitted inside of a cast-aluminum oil filter housing. The newer oil filter uses a curved cross-frame brace between the frame front downtubes; the older cartridge style uses a straight, not curved cross-frame brace.

The 1985-'89 bikes use an analog CDI ignition box, 5 wires/two pick-up ignition leads. The 1990-'07 bikes use a two-lead single pick-up ignition lead. At some point the regulator/rectifier got a separate ground wire, while the older style used the ground of the R/R bare-metal housing itself to make the ground.

Another difference is in the front end. The 40mm downtubes, triple trees and sliders fit 1985-1992. They have smaller, ventilated front discs, I believe the measurement is 282mm. The spacing for the early forks' caliper mounting points is smaller than the newer bikes. 1993+ models are 43mm downtubes, sliders and triple trees, and the front caliper mounting points are further apart, 100mm O.C. I believe. If you really wanted to, yes you could put a 1985-1992 entire front end onto a 1993-'07 frame, and vice-versa.

You can mix/match between and among frames and engines, to make anything fit another year. You just have to know what needs to be switched. When switching things like electrical components you should get the wire harness for that year to make things simpler. Sometimes the wire harness stayed the same for years. Otherwise, you need to have a schematic for the pin-outs to figure-out what goes where.

Are you saying something about the two front turn signal/running lights? USA models also have front turn signal/running lights.

Canadian bikes also had a maple leaf label showing they met Canadian build/equipment standards. Does your bike have this?

Both these are 1985 model year bikes. One was built in Dec. 1984, the other in March 1985.
