Hey Colin,I have the exact same model and I've been through ignition issues already. On an otherwise bulletproof bike it's a poorly designed part, so I'm wondering that your fusebox might be fine. I got mine 2 years ago, in similar condition, and last year the ignition started acting up, cutting o

DRILL OUT THE LOCK?!!! AY CARUMBA!!! Holy Moly, get some advice on that option before taking it. Have a locksmith pick it or something. I'm not well-versed in tank locks but that's the only mechanism that keeps your tank closed. The key for the ignition is the same key that opens the tank unles

More details please. How many miles ? Rust in the tank ? sat how long ? Front brake stuck ? Does it have ignition ? You have to supply many answers to get some. Expect a lot of work before you get any results. 550 is a rare bike. Lot of fun to ride, great performance. If you can invest the time
