Left side of the steering neck has the manufacture date stamped right on the label.

Thanks Steve,

I checked, and the date of manufacture is April 2006 I was curious because my bike came from the dealer with the 25 degree injectors already installed, I wasn't sure if they did it or it came from the factory that way. I beleive at that point the factory was already aware of the injector problem and installing 25 degree injectors. ( I had a problem with it coughing and stalling a few times, I checked the injectors to see if I had 8 or 25 degree and I had 25 degree) I took it in and they said everything was ok… I changed gas stations and the problem went away, must have been bad fuel I guess. Bike runs great.

Thanks again for the info
