No, 550 had a safety inlock system so you couldnt start it in gear unless you pulled the clutch lever in, 3 active fuse fuse box and ignition switch between clocks i think

You mean you got it that way, they never came from the factory with a 550 frame with a 500 engine. The 500 engines had finished years before the 550 came out, even in USA.

The engine is a 500 from a 500 four, or 500 K0, K1 or K2. If you let us know the engine number, Bryanj on the forum will be able to give you an approximate build date for the engine. What is your VIN number, that will give a clue to when the frame was manufactured.

Don't be sorry, nothing wrong with a Mongrel as long as you knew it was a Mongrel when you bought it.

Yes, plenty of people do. You can leave off the last 2 numbers of both and just put a star in their place if you wish.
