You say "It´s a question of money"
Is it that expensive? How much is a new XT engine? Does it take a lot of work on the frame to fit it? A suspension rebuild on an old XT and the new engine are a lot better match than the new XT and should last at least as long, but what about the gearbox? I´ve read old XT can get quite delicate in this matter, am i right or can a new Gearbox be fitted along the new engine? I´m really getting into this since an old xt, particularly with a bad engine can get really cheap, and I think that, as long as all the parts and work to get it "new and better" with new quality parts doesn´t get more expensive than a new XT, it is a pretty good deal. And you also get a lot cooler bike!
I think i will talk to a Yamaha dealer on this one next week to see what they tell me, although i don´t know when i´ll be able to afford it.
PS: during what years were the bikes ellegible for this "mutation" produced?
