I've recently bought a complete bike in parts, I've since found out the frame is from a 2000 model, can I use this with the rest of my 1996 parts or is it not possible.

89on  same motor

The 96 motor will fit in that frame, but the plastic and subframe won’t work. I’m not completely sure about the suspension. It might be cheaper to buy a 1996-1998 frame and use the rest of your parts.

Craig31388:
Finding one in the UK is proving hard, I would rather get a 1996 frame and keep everything the same.

umberto:
I think the forks would work with the 2000 frame  if you swapped the stem out from a 1999-2001 set of triple clamps. The shock might work too, as they did not change the linkage that much until 2004. The swing arm most likely won’t work though. It might be worth it to wait for a 1996 frame, or to pay the shipping from the states if you can find one here.
