Does anyone know what the difference is between the 08-11 version and the 12-13 version. Do they use different plugs or something, there must be something different even though the engines are ver much the same.
They have different harnesses to connect to lower injectors and TPS. 08-11 uses a sub connector where as 12-13 connects directly to all the injectors and TPS. The 08-11 is slightly easier to install but I'd get the 12-13 as it is compatible with all 08+ Blades and some other Honda models too to the resell value will be better. Apart from that they are functionally identical .
TBH I can't confirm that, but the 2012 will fit all models. The difference is the TPS signal is taken from the subconnector in the 2008 version where as it is directly taken from the tps in the 2012. Depends whether not that same sub connector is still present in the 2012 blade? The connector in question should be near 2 and 3, it might be hidden under the vacuum hoses.
found this Honda CBR1000 Forum : 1000RR.net - View Single Post - 2012 CBR1000 FYI & Previous Year Mods as I said you will need someone in the know to confirm EDIT: Explorer, just seen your purchase off Shing, hence your question, I'm sure as someone has confirmed compatibility you'll be OK.
