Greetz, Hans, I'm off to the Ukrania, 'till about two and a half weeks!

looks like your valve protector is also tool for removing valve,very handy.Bike lookin good hope the springs work well http://www.xt660.com/images/icons/icon7.gif http://www.xt660.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

Be interested to hear what you make of the hyperpro springs, I did the forks on my Capo and it improved no end.

And don't forget to send us a postcard!

seconded!

have a nice trip and don't forget to :Photos_3NT5BI:

some sweet mods, will be good to hear how smooth the bike is with better springs.

Have a great trip

Due to personal circumstances I won't discuss here, I had to return back home even before I entered Poland, what a bummer!!! I got to Cottbus, just on the German-Polish border, so I did about 1600km's in two days, mostly highways at 130kmh.
The mods worked out just fine:
-hardly no oil in the tube, although the engine run at 4500-5000rpm(that used to fill the tube), so the new breather works, great!!
-the Hyperpro springs give a much more better handling and even more stable bike(it already was, but now it's even better)especially when it's loaded with luggage, just like I experienced on my former bike, the XT600E, which also had Hyperpro's;
-the other mods were more offroad minded, but since I had to return, I don't have experiences on those, yet.
Greetz from a tired Tenere rider(the bike just kept runnin', smooth and willin'!!), Hans.

Got only two pics of the loaded bike prior to the departure, that's bloody all, shoot!!
Greetz, Hans.

im interested in this breather you have modded.... what is it and why do it... oh and should i do it? :-)

thanks

i already saw your bike at video google, with the leovince exhausts

im interested in the suspension upgrade as its my next purchase after the power commander, not sure to buy a ohlins unit or the cheaper one at offroad.de im more interested in what its like offroad as im not happy with the standard suspension, to soft for my liking and poor damping..
