the twice fuel-light mounted on the RD04(1990) model was took away in the
RD07(1993) model for the need of the new drawing of the frame and the
airbox.
In fact the new airbox is now over the engine, and 2 litres more capacity.
to make the need space for the new airbox, the fuel-tank it's now 1 litre
lower (RD04 = 24 litres; RD07 = 23 litres), and with a new form, so the
float for the fuel-lights has no more space!
----- engine differences
I don't know internal big engine differences (perhaps bigger exhaust
valves).
The only remarkable (external) are on the suction and the exhaust: new
carburetors (2xVP36 flat valve(like CBR)), new airbox (see over), new
silencer (1,5 litres more), that give 62hp at 7500rpm versus 59hp at 7250
of the RD04 engine. The torque it's the same: 6,3kgm at 6.000rpm
all this value are for italian model and are declared from builder, not
tested.
in Italy RD07 engine of 1993-made are the same than the current year.
best regards
