If you do have the money then i�d Have the bike stripped and find out the worsed that being the crankcases are damaged,there was a guy on here a while back with the same dilema if the cases are kaput then you�ll need a motor I see a scabby one on eBay went for 500 quid in spetember and waiting for one to turn up will be a hassle.

The part ex thing i�d doubt they�d give a grand(if that)not knowing what�s inside the engine.

The only good news I got poo pooed a while back about XT�s going up in price but prices have certainly stiffened up by some margin so its not a complete loss,as the Yanks say you�ve just got to suck it up all part of biking.

You have no location but if your in the midlands might have a cheaper option for you if it�s an engine repair or even just stripping it.
