The scary part is that $600 for an XT550 is cheap. I've checked on e-pay, and the things have gone for $1200-1900 as non-runners, in worse shape than mine.
Didn't get the battery in today either. Too busy riding the Kawi. And then changing the oil beacause Castrol ActEvo 10W40 is a great cleaner, but a lousy lubricant. Emphasis on can't. 800 miles, and that oil was toasted. Switched to GTX 20W50 car oil, just like the Intruder and Savage. Works great, can get at Wal-mart (along with my $2.07 cent filter, yep, Vulcan takes a car filter).
Might just take my Savage back, the kid won't come over and fix it. Oh well, he's been off it almost a month, wants to ride, doesn't want to wrench. HE broke it, why should I fix it so he can go out and tear it up again? I think he's taking the "Children should be rarely seen and never heard" house rule a bit too seriously... -WD
