Default 400ex changes, and what to look out for in a used 2003, Advice needed.

There is a 2003 400 ex available locally for $3,600 out the door. It's stock and I think it's worth considering.

As you can see in my signature file I had a 2000 400ex. That one was flawless and reliable.

Questions:
1. Is there anything different on the 2003 that was updated over the 2000,2001, 2002?

2. Is there anything specific I should look for mechanically that may be a problem?

The airbox is reinforced with some extra brackets.

The welding on the a-arms where the shocks mount is much better since 2001.

Can't think of anything else that changed.
