    Oh ye of little 500 faith.

    I say just start dumping handfuls of money into the engine and plastics only to have it self destruct a few thousand miles later due to another dropped valve.

    I disagree. I think he should sell it, then hang on here and complain about it bitterly for a few years.

    If well maintained 500s don't self-destruct.

    stick a fork in it

    oh, someone already did.

    Time to punt buddy. That's what happens when a 500 is bounced off the rev limiter repeatedly.

    Insurance claim!!! The bike shows well in the before pictures when it was yellow.

    It's just a bike, make sound financial decisions and move on.
