Hi, from a new owner of a 17k '06. It hydrolocked on me right away. Learned about cog and Steve later. I was extremely lucky. Inline shut off valve and 1500 miles later, it runs well minus some issues associated obviously with carbs and also broken airbox and some other holes here and there. All of this can be fixed and I saw the respective videos. But then I checked the pistons for hydrolock damage and #3 is about 1milimeter or maybe 3/64" lower than the second. I learned that this is not much and that many ride around with a bent rod. Is there anyone who actually knows that he has a bent rod and rides anyway? How big is the damage and how many miles have been done on a bent rod? In other words, how many miles can I expect out of this machine? Thank you!
