Yearly model changes

[darealestspigguh]

I have heard three different years of this bike so far 06-08 and i wonder if anyone would like to help document the differences between them.  I own the 06 version, and when i was trying to help leemoore with his problems on his 07, we found out that both the Emissions system and CDI were quite different.  Also, there seems to be an o2 sensor on the 07's and none on the 06.  if anyone else has any helpful info please contribute.

I see where your coming from but it may be a bit more tricky due to different regs in different countries. For example, I doubt whether the UK USA and other parts of asia and europe use the same emission controls. I notice my manual refers to EURO III standard, but that wont be the same as China or US or other parts of Asia.
I think only basic engine parts and body parts are the same. One difference i notice is the lights switches are different in different places depending on whether the local laws require you to have your headlights on while engine is running. I think they do this in USA (or at least in California they seem to). USA also has a switch to allow hazard lights. I don't have any hazard light switch. So it may not just be year differences but also country of origin differences.

Here is a good site to identify the parts for the zongshen

Which clearly identifies the parts with zong part numbers which is clearly different on my bike for some of the parts

yea, you're right, its more likely that its only region differences. They only made this bike for all of two years, thats why i found it worth making a thread that there were such drastic differences. Is europe the leader in green emissions? It would seem your emission system is way more complicated than the shotty one on my bike as shown in leemore's link.

They still sell these bikes new in the UK (exact same as mine with the environment protection device)
