Jostby,
I think you are right about the CDI's being identified by the colored wire wrap. The earlier parts manuals from 2001-2003 show the CDI's being different part numbers for the 200, 250, and 300. Later years only show a common part number. No special part numbers have been listed in the manuals for the MC bikes, although I remember folks discussing the more aggressive mapping of the MC bikes. I believe CDI's were mapped differently and the wire wrap altered as an identifier for GG folks.

The "race" editions have been more recent... at least marketed that way since 2007. The earlier years had SE (special editions) that were more race oriented with Ohlins full suspension, gold rims, etc..

Regarding the high compression heads, they should have a unique part number such as MCxxxxxx while the standard heads would have been MExxxxxx (based on GG typical part numbering).
