 KEV im getting engine for $1300 its a 2010 xtr model with 5000kms its from the project bike hypoboang was making (one with the ducati fuel tank) long story on his behalf so i bought it. 
         
        
 KRISS007 not sure what im doing with old motor the gearbox 3rd and 4th gears need replacing..$500 for yamaha australia just for gears only (have done a thread on kevs page with pictures of damage so have a look) plus gaskets and anything else. 
        
 I have found a netherlands site that does xt bit's cheap but the postage it what kills it.
