OH & no the later ones in UK which have the pairs system & therefore any bikes that have the pairs system US & some euro spec, have pluming for the said pairs system.

No, they changed a bit. I posted details a few days ago on another post from some research I did about this. As follows:

There were a few carb changes in four stages in UK models, namely '97, '98-'00, '01-'04, and '05-'06, as follows:

'97: #45 pilots, needles A1UD front A1UC rear, carb ID VPT0B
'98-'00: #48 pilots, needles A1UD front A1UC rear, carb ID VPT0G
'01-'04: #45 pilots, needles A1UF front A1UE rear, carb ID VPT3A
'05-'06: #45 pilots, needles A1UF front A1UE rear, carb ID VPT3E

General consensus is that the A1UD/C needles are richer than the A1UF/E ones.

I don't know if these different carb ID numbers reflect any actual changes in anything integral like the needle jet or what.

Interestingly there are some different part numbers for the slide springs...

'97-'00: 16050-MBB-640
'01-'06: 16050-MBB-D41

However I don't know if a new part number always means a new part.

The specified idle speed changed as well (!):

'97: 1,100 ± 100 rpm
'98-'06: 1,200 ± 100 rpm
