    The tires are in good shape but im going to switch them up to give it a more rugged agressive look. I'm not sure what the back tires are and how old but i'll have to take a closer look at them..Theres not much sand riding in this state so i assume they might be for snow...

    Thanks. I'm going to keep the tires as they are in real good shape. That brochure was neat. I got the headlight guard and all the tools in the toolbox. I took the sx all apart today, skid plates, shock, airbox, gas tank and gave it a real cleaning..Drained all fluids and replaced with new. Except for the gas as the petcock started to leak. I have a question for anyone reading this...My gas tank has zero rust inside. Should I just keep it full of fresh gas to keep it rust free or should i get it creamed or coated if it has no rust?

    Keep it full of gas and it will never rust. Do not kreem a perfectly good tank. Kreem and red coat should be last resort only.

    Putting the sx back together today after the tear down and more detailed cleaning..Must of been a pound of caked on dust and dirt under the tank on top of the frame and engine area..I have a couple questions for anyone who tore these down before...On top of the engine its stamped H 35 in green and i was curious as to what this meant from the factory? Also when i took the skid plates of and cleaned the under side theres was a couple words near the oil changing bolt but could not read the whole thing because the main fram covered some of it...It looked like it said "HALF" Something Also looked like 3 initials on there too but could be wrong. I'll have to check my other sx as i think it has the same markings if i recall..
