Sorry to read about all of your troubles with this bike! Cursed for sure. But good Monsters CAN absolutely be had for not a lot of cash, just try and be patient. Spring is around the corner so your choices will double.
On a semi-related note; I had an '05 Monster 620 (fuel injected) that never had a problem - put gas in it, change the oil and take care of the chain. That was it. Started up every time. Think I had something like 28,000 miles on it when I sold it.

I agree with hiero. Getting another used bike may put you in an even worse position as far as "problems." I'm not reading anything here to think that these are more than minor issues, considering. Heck, you can get a brand new bike with issues. Talk to folks who are on their 3rd or 4th ECU.

Oh, and as far as tank ding--I bought mine with a pre-dinged tank that's still on the bike.  |

I've never had ECU probs. I rely on AMS. They gave me my new Monster tank for free because of swelling issues |

If my calculations are correct. I got roughly two months of riding and made almost a grand
Does that include the tickets? Joking aside, that is a pretty good deal.  |
