Hi Geoff.
I wonder how many xts dear mr sandbound has worked on??
Anyway, be very carefull when buying any pre 96 (4pt model) xt600. Pitting of 5th gear can start as early as 15000 miles. This problem can wreck almost all other engine components if left unchecked. The only remedy is to strip and replace with an uprated gear kit. (by the way the 4pt gearbox does not fit)
An engine rebuild with all the necessary upgrades can cost more than a reasonable secondhand 4pt 600e.
Please be carefull.
