Getting close to 11000 miles on the 550

Sitting at 10600 right now and have a good ride coming up in a week. Since I fixed the valves at 6500 miles for the 3rd time it has been running good. The A Arm bushing have a lot of miles on them and they are holding up very well also. Thanks to John he has made things a lot easier for a lot of us. Getting close to needing some new tires since the Terra Cross tires have a lot of miles on them and they have some pretty soft rubber. Not going to get anything expensive since it is my backup machine to the 570. Uses a little oil but I can deal with that. I have been through a good many ball joints, brakes and a few sets of bearings. If I would have not had the valve problems this would have been another good machine but the valve problem kinda takes away from it. I still like to ride it and I still think the XP platform is a good one. Polaris just needs to improve some things on it like getting away from 14 inch rims and upgrading the bushings. By the time they do that it will be a new design.
