New to me, 390xp

[RIDE-RED 350r]

Thanks to @ELECT6845 for a nice deal on a 2016 390xp. It arrived today and I couldn't be happier.

That said, seller stated compression of 130psi and a possibly noisy PTO bearing. So my plan is to break her down and see what's going on in the top end causing that low-ish compression and address it as well as putting in new bottom end bearings and seals. Gonna be a little while as I have a couple other things ahead of this beast in line on the bench, but I'm very much looking forward to giving this thing a whirl. Been wanting a 385/90 for awhile now.

When you get her right, youre going to LOVE IT! The power to weight ratio is amazing. I like them so well I now own 3 of them in fact. 2 of them I built from parts and wrecks and the other one I bought new several months ago and its still sitting in the spare bedroom floor having never been fueled.

Don't have any yet. Gots a "customer" 394 in pieces on my bench to put together that's waiting for ordered parts.

My sorry but not yet. @PA Dan would be pretty upset with me if my 024 project got back-burnered for this. Will post up in here when I get started though..

Let’s be honest we can all agree 390 is more fun than a 024

Not when you are in a tree

No worries buddy I would be burned if I was the reason you couldnt work on the 024! Parts are on the way and will be there on Thursday! I'll send the tracking number in a text! So it should be running by Sunday right?

I don't know about Sunday, but as soon as I get that 394 back together and out the door I'll get after it. No need to send tracking, I'm confident they are on the way and I appreciate it.

Nice Joe....from one end of the size scale to the other with these two.
024 and me are familiar but a 390 xp has never shown up in my shop.

This is the first 390 ever in my possession. I have a 394 that Shaun Carr and I worked over that's an absolute beast, but this size has been intriguing me for awhile now.
