Tank decals,shift linkage,painted push rod tubes and derby/inspection covers, new style rear Iso's for '01.
I'm sure others will chime in and correct me or add to the list.

The only "external" difference is the shift linkage assembly and may be the choice of colors. There were also a couple of "upgraded" components like the primary chain tensioner and oil pump dive gear and may be the rear shock.
This very question was asked a little while back. Do a Search.

I believe 2001 was the year that the plastics went from painted, to molded in color. I know a 2000 has painted plastics, 2002 has molded.

Additionally......

2000 had "American Motorcycles" under the Buell logo. 2001 did not.

negative..... oil pump dive gear on a 2001 is a no go!!

Whatever you heard is false, the factory gear wears down just like all the broken gears you have seen here.

2000 was the last year for painted tank covers with raised decals.

2001 was the first year for molded in color plastic tank covers with stickers.

and i think Mbsween is right about what the decals/stickers said. About a year ago i aquired a few tank cover to play around with color ideas. the 2000 i got was painted and the 01-02 i had were not with sticker style decals.
