I've acquired this sunburnt and corroded 97 600 and wish to convert the motor ( and frame) to a FC501. It looks worse than it is, have found spark, low wear on discs , carb slide as new, 6400km, and the speedo still works...! Plenty of surface corrosion obviously.
I have a nice FC600, but it's a lot of bike...I have tried a 501, easier to ride on a natural terrain mx track .
Looks like the crank, rod and barrel are the only signicant items to change. Headers have a different part #, as well
Any comments or advice appreciated, and if you have a 501 crank or barrel to sell let me know- seemingly pretty scarce.
Looks like the 600 barrel could be machined down at the base to become a 501 barrel if I had to.
