560 smr help

not really sure why you'd pick the smr over an exc as looks wise they're identical with the EXC scoring way higher on the reliability chart compared to a 560 smr, not to mention the exc already has all the proper equipment for road use. an exc would have been a way better choice no matter how you look at it, chassis parts like suspension and brakes can be easily upgraded to bring it to "SMR level" and you'll still have a more reliable motor that packs enough power.

well you're in the boat you set sail on so nothing much more to do now. change the oil every 10 to 15 hours along with cleaning all the screens, valve checks every 30 hours. 560's are prone to crank and crank bearing failures, any weird noise or ticking sound coming from around that area while the motor is running and you're looking at tearing it down.

Just talked again with the bike's owner and I'm feeling sad now.... Apparently, even though the bike is plated, it doesn't have the hability to provide enough power to sustain medium and high beams or even a stop light (don't know how he managed to plate it but he did).
He said I would have to buy a magnetic plate (direct translation from the portuguese, don't know if it is what you guys call "stator") apart from the wiring. He also said that the magnetic plate alone would be around 150/180€.
Would really like having one of these war horses but I'm kinda getting frightened with all these issues... Don't even know who would be able to do the crank weld thing here in portugal (or even in the EU).
I really like the smr brakes/suspension setup but there are only two for sale in portugal now; this 560 and a 450 (but it costs 1200€ more and I have the idea they're less reliable).
Also have the chance to buy cheaper sumo 525 exc with just the need to change brakes and suspension... And I've already have a great deal on a motomaster disk and caliper (should I change the brake's master cilinder if I go this way?)
