Guys - sorry its an XT 660 X! I did realise after I'd posted but hoped no one would notice.

Sorry to offend the tenere chaps and excite those that thought an orange one was around somewhere...my bad?!

Ill adjust the tick over as suggested and let you know - certainly doesn't seem to be low and seems to simply 'blow out' with a bump whilst still having either the torque of the engine still on it when slowing or whilst picking up the revs out of the corner.

Its a shame really because its a real blast to ride, but the cutting out does seem to happen at the most inopportune moment.

In terms of the idle adjustment .... am I right in thinking that this is a mechanical adjustment on the engine rather than through the diagnostic screen on the dash?

From what I read the diagnostic screen will give a read out of the rpm...

Can anyone recommend a good (and cost effective) luggage rack?

Thanks chaps
