fork mark has been changed. Moreover, the adhesive tape for the rubber seals
located on the inside of the top cowling has been changed to a type with a higher
degree of adhesion.

(Rubber seals)
Identified by the color of the adhesive tape on the rubber seal.

(Previous) White → (New) Gray

(Top cowling assembly)

With the tuning fork mark affixed to the top cowling, it
is difficult to determine whether the part is the new or
previous type. Therefore, gently peel the rubber seal
in order to identify it by the color of the adhesive tape
on the rubber seal.
