Hello Hello

Hello All,

I will imminently become the owner of an XT660X I have always had a big trail bike in the garage for short haul and all year round riding. I have a number of other road and track bikes too, most of which are 80s and early 90s . I enjoy building bikes and do all of my own work and much of my own fabrication.. Traditionally my trail bikes have been 90s bikes bought cheaply and tweaked. Last one I had a DR650 and before that an XT600 ( which I fitted 17" three spoke alloy wheels to. I ran a R1150 GS for a couple of years in the Dr's place. Great bike but a bit on the lardy side. I'm looking forward to owning a lightweight single again.

I pick up an XT660 this weekend which is bog standard so I already have the Kev mods on order and I'm reading up on induction and exhaust configurations. I'm a fan of forums as a means of building up really good info on particular models and I look forward to making the best of my involvement here.

Cheers,

KM

I'm afraid I can't leave bikes alone. My wife said "so this is just a standard bike? you're not going to be doing anything to it? Because you know what you're like, you just need something you don't have to work on"

Yeah Yeah, I said just a run about. I'm not planning on doing anything to it

For her that means what it says- for me that means I'm not planning to take the engine out

Picked up the XT this morning. Fitted the Kev fuel mod and O2 mod and a stage 1 filter. Pipes next and I will probably fit a stage 2 DNA when I fit the exhausts.
