ThanksYep the 500 2114.6 Make sure the latest spec oils used in boxes think 626 but check! the older oil was not up to heavy work I am told, was an expensive job. but hey you cant take it with you.Not a good day to day either just heard a friend with Enstrom 280 has vibes in pedals and noise 800ft puts it down and tail box to hot to touch loads of metal on inspection ( NO Chip light fitted to this model) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
