Hi everyone, just waiting for my new purchase to arrive in a van tomorrow, it's a 2009 in Sand/Khaki with 23K on the clock, been dry stored since 2014. Straight into my garage for some fettling and a service then I'm going to be using it for a mixture of commuting, green laning and some sections of the TET!
It's got an aftermarket exhaust already fitted, some more off road biased tyres will be fitted fairly soon I reckon.

:hello: and :welcome: to :660:

Welcome!!!
Khaki/sand is the best color that xt660z ever had!

Hello and welcome aboard

Welcome to the forum! Steve

Bike has arrived safely, pretty much as described, a few minor bits to do along with a good service, now installed in my garage. Was running a bit rough initially but only had a tiny bit of fuel in the tank which I suspect was stale. The bike has been in storage for the last four years. Had a little tinker, replaced a few bulbs to ensure they weren't wiring snags, rear end/number plate holder needs a tidy up as it's been a bit butchered! Will add some pictures once I've worked out the best way to do so!!

Awesome, cheers Chalk Two! Looks much neater. Mine has already been chopped but it�s a right gash job. How do you post pictures? I�ve tried linking to Google photos but it doesn�t seem to want to work!!
