When talking to my dad his friend that owned the 550 said it was restricted to the point it would over heat and break down. The turn off was he had to spend more money to make it even work properly. But the other guy is right the overheating fucked the bike over in many ways I believe.
Kinda like the green drz and now the orange huskies.
Tfw rode all day and night yesterday in tolerable 60 degree weather
tfw it's supposed to snow overnight
tfw no more riding till spring cause i fucking hate the cold
Most of the issues came from lubrication system which was fixed in I think 2008.
The ones after that weren't bad, but it's still a race bike so you'd be insane to DD it.

if theres no salt on the roads then fucking ride im dead and depressed as fuck over here because of all the salt on the roads that will give my bike cancer

It was the 450 I think they fixed and rolled out for 2009.
The dude bought it and fixed it. Sold it to some dude who rode the shit out of it like it was a toy. Was sliding corners and reving the shit out of it lmao. A fitting death.
but really though im about to throw myself off a bridge we're supposed to get rain to get rid of salt but they're calling for more snow + ice on monday so salt is going to be everywhere again
It's what it was made to do
Rode one, went through tanks like nothing, but it was a fucking riot
