Changes from '07 to '08?
Pulled from another site:

Got the 2008 touring model catalog in my hands and quickly went through a comparison of engine/gearbox components with the 2007 touring models. Some of the changes are hidden deep in certain components.
Engine
[ul][*]front head (new front motor mount)[*]crank bearing[*]cams[*]induction module (new fly by wire system)[*]Stator assembly[*]new ECM etc (new fly by wire system)[*]crank shaft position sensor[*]Starter assembly[*]starter clutch subassembly[/ul]
Gearbox
[ul][*]clutch cable[*]transmission assembly[*]transmission case subassembly[*]lock rings 11081 A[*]Inner primary bearing inner race[*]Input shaft[/ul]
It appears to me that the MoFoCo addressed the major issues with the 07 drivetrain in a sneaky way.
Cams to deal with the pinging and likely the overheating, the starter to address premature failures and maybe the noise and my absolute favorite , new transmission assembly with new case, input shaft bearings and a few other minor things to deal with the non existing 07 transmission problem.

I have only riden one 07 and it was a short ride. My wife just picked up a 08 and dayum that thing gets hot and I mean HOT. If they addressed the heat issue I would hate to get stuck in traffic on a 07.

RE: Changes from '07 to '08?
I have read plenty about the transmission issues and understand the changes with the gearbox, but I haven't read anything regarding the issues with the engine that would warrant changing the crank bearing or the cam. Can someone explain what the problem is with the 2007 engine that would require a redesign with the crank bearing and the cam.
