Oil in water xciting 500

Your mechanics are........@$%÷€£/!!

I'm impressed. MY keyboard doesn't have €£ !
Hey, his mechanics are just trying to make a house payment......like the rest of us.
(Am I the only one who wonders sometimes if 777 isn't the room number of patient XSEL. And he's sitting in the solarium with his laptop, taking his meds, flirting with the nurses,  and smiling as he posts this stuff? )
He has 6 pages and 2000+ reads now!

Yes, Job and he have patience in common. Yes, the Bible guy Job, not the Apple guy, Jobs! I would be in jail by now if I had to deal with mech#@!€£s!

To be honest I don't think they know what they are actually doing. I hope you have strong consumer protection laws in your area.

I am probably going to sell it to the workshop owner, as he has on old one there he needs spares for.
Mine has a new crank, new axle, Malossi sports variator, sports clutch spring, bigger givi screen, hand guards, backrest.

I have been looking into a tmax.
two options available in my area :
2009 500cc XP500 15000km
2014 530cc               80000km

I want to  go for the one that will be less maintenance cost.

yep, it has been a circus, but is likely time to give up on it.
I checked with a car salesman when I was there today working on his pc, and he said that I can get a bike on credit on my business account if I produce 6 month back statements showing movement through the account.

So, beginning to feel lucky.

AMEN!

Right on! (recalled a dim memory from the 60's...)

Hey folks

The nightmare is finally over.

I gave it everything I've got, but was ultimately unsuccessful with a definitive repair.

The workshop is buying it from me.
I enticed him with a obd reader, and free spares(what good are they to me now? ).

And I signed on the dotted line for a 2009 Yamaha Tmax with only 15000km.

I am so glad I held on  tight because the acceleration is awesome!..... [emoji3].

Interesting thread.  I just picked up a project 2007 Xciting 500.  Wasn't running but got it running and same thing as you.  Blowing white smoke and leaks coolant, thinking being over-pressurized by the cylinder leak.  Bummer you never got it resolved.
