3 years since purchase and after various issues regarding work and finances and the necessity for a new exhaust
I took my X9 500 for an MOT today and it passed with no advisories.
Still needs a little fettling but it's usable now and I think the exhaust I picked up from ebay was a bargain - used X9 Evo stainless for £82.00 delivered from a guy breaking his.
Still some summer left to hopefully enjoy the thing for a while.
Electric stand has decided to stop working, was ok last year and then it's been laid up and now doesn't. I'll have to have a good look around it and clean up what I can get to.
Happy days
