so what do I do? Im tight so heres my plan of action
I reckon...
1. drain gbox oil, flush with petrol and start all over again with fresh oil.
2. Buy some new tougher springs
3. buy a new set of clutch plates
4. buy the TRX850 I should have bought in the 1st place?!

does that sound right??

Paolo,

From what I remember you got your SS for a song, so if you have to do a little work to make the bike 100% then it really is no big deal.

New plates and springs really is no problem and not too expensive. I always change the oil and filters as soon as I buy any new bike just so I know what I am starting with. I reckon around £100 all in if you do the work yourself should see you sorted. At the end of the day, any second hand bike, especially one that is 12 years old will need a little TLC.
