2005/2011 Gasgas 200 are they the same engine ?

[Dirt Dud]

OK once again the resources of this forum are an value that is PRICELESS ! I own a 2005 200de with very low miles on it , and I own a 2011 with quite a few miles on it .The 11 is awsum looking all set up but I am wondering if they are the same engine ? If so I may keep the 05 as my parts bike sell some of the parts I know I will not need . I would only get 2500 or so for the bike as a whole and if the radiators and engine are the same why sell it ? There are tubless / new tires on the wheel , and they are true and round so there are a lot of good parts .

I have an 05 and two mates have 2011 models, there may be some changes but i haven't been able to see them.

That is what is what I think to , but I am not positive ? Looks the same so I guess it is ?

I looked closer and it is very close lots of other parts will interchange also . There will be some parts for sale as soon as I start pulling the 05 apart . and learn how to post pictures .

I'll go out on a limb amid say that since 1999 that motor has changed very little internally. Ignition cover, clutch cover, maybe transmission gear ratios......from what I've seen posted here on this forum.

Thanks I was to busy working on my 2011 getting ready to ride tomarrow , while working on it I kept looking at them they look alike . Now I need to find out what other size Gassers use that size forks and shock . I had WER set them up and hardly used them , so I will be on the lookout for a 300 if the suspension switchs over . Another Gasser in the bike room !
