I believe in either 2000 or 2001 they changed the subframe from aluminum to steel because the lighter aluminum subframes weren't strong enough and some of them were cracking, the steel ones were stronger but heavier. I think that change and restricting the top speed to 186mph were really the only changes?

In 2002, the EFI was changed to a more precise variable pressure system, replacing the old-style recirculating/constant pressure system. The ECU was also changed to a slightly more powerful unit. '05 unit gets radial-mount calipers and slightly revised suspension rates (including ti-nitride coating on fork tubes).

No radial-mount brakes, it's always had 6-piston standard-mound calipers. Titanium nitride was added to the forks in '03.

Argh, you're right, I was thinking of the ZX-12R.

To note:
The 12R recieved radial mount brakes in 04.
