Problem

Let $x_k$ be the largest positive rational solution $x$ to the equation $(2007-x)(x+2007^{-k})^k=1$ for all integers $k\ge 2$. For each $k$, let $x_k=\frac{a_k}{b_k}$, where $a_k$ and $b_k$ are relatively prime positive integers. If \[S=\sum_{k=2}^{2007} (2007b_k-a_k),\] what is the remainder when $S$ is divided by $1000$?
