the 04 bike had the old coils fitted (they look like the the spark plug caps but with thinner wires) these coils had the connector plug attatched the the coil at the cylinder head.
the new 05 ish ( as some later bikes came with the new coils)
have a cable leading off from the coil about 10cm with a connecting plug on the end.
to tell the difference -
on the rear / standing cylinder the sparkplug cap/coil should just be visible from the left hand side.
if the plug attaching to this coil is stituated directly on the cylinder head this is the old type
