> i was there every week year before last at bimp, didn’t get a chance this year between the job change and new house. i just have a drz400sm, change the oil and ride the stupid thing and enjoy. the early Sxv’s had about a 90% mortality rate the past few years, i hope they got the bugs worked out of them for your sake, there are a LOT of the used market with new nearly unstarted 08’ motors b/c the owners just want out while it’s still moving under it’s own power and not leaking oil out of every orifice. rebuild cycle calls for annual piston and ring job which is what really scares me as far as operating costs. if you actually want to ride your bike i’d look elsewhere, if you want it living on a stand in your garage/dealer waiting for warranty parts from the motherland get a european exotic. don’t get me wrong, when it’s going you’ll blow my doors off on one wheel at nearly 100lbs less weight than my steel framed antique, and almost twice the hp.

actually it’s recommended every 100 miles, 300max, and pistons every 2000 or 60 hours. great street bike…

Id be screwed with that bike, as would you if you rode it in any sort of spirited manner it would be down most of the season… i put anywhere from 7-13k on a bike each season. I dont want to have to rebuilt or work on an engine every year.
