| * **Example**: Flywheel assembly (23905-00) is listed in 2000-2003 original version parts catalogs. \\ The 2003 catalog went through a (-A) and a (-B) version. Both the (-03 and -03A) catalogs list the flywheel assembly as (23905-00). \\ However, the (-03B) catalog written in 2018 lists the flywheel assembly as (23905-00A). These two flywheels look worlds apart from each other. \\ And if you didn't originally have the -00 flywheels, you won't know that the -00A wheels were replacement for the originals. | * **Example**: Flywheel assembly (23905-00) is listed in 2000-2003 original version parts catalogs. \\ The 2003 catalog went through a (-A) and a (-B) version.
