How much do they weigh Dennis, the Rotax motors look so big and bulky

should have 40mm front forks
 

From what I can tell some came out with conventional forks and disc brake and some with upside down forks and drum brakes. The two I have have both got the upside down white powers. They're a nice bike to ride.

 True
1982 Gs came out with 40mm marzochi
        Xc came out with 41.7 mm Marzochi
later models arfter 1984 you could get white power USD forks
but My Brain stops around the Mid 80s. got a wife and kids then....

I do think by 1984 the bike with USD forks was  Not a 504 but was out to 600cc????

Good to hear that you have one or two I will try to find my book with the number ov 504 that came to OZ
My brain think that it was less than 40 or so need to find tha book

I've got one that's running and one that's a basket case. I never bothered with it because the bottom end is seized and the bore is split and was quoted $3,500 just for parts. Cheaper to buy the one on ebay. Have thought of putting an XT500 motor in it.  I've also got a Can am Sonic and a 4 ATK's with the same motor. Seem to have a soft spot for those big Rotax thumpers.  Probably one of the best built 4 stoke single motors out there.
