Zach Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 If I remember correctly, the engine internals were made of a fine swiss cheese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rawlins87 Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 550s were more notorious for the motor problems. Supposed to be 08+ are fine, yes they are better bbut nope still not worth it. Either way look for orange gasket on the motors.450s are a little better for the motor failure. Still 08+ is better.Regardless Its one of the best factory motards. Beautiful, fast, and Italian.If your buying to race snatch it up, best factory race bike. But expect to do alot of maintance. This isn't a bike to ride to work and back only. Its meant for a track, yes it will run on the street fine but not forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usafstud Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 I totally want this for my collection, only if engine issues weren't such a common problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
