stowemad is on a distinguished road
xt at last

Well after draging my feet on wether to get a new bike or not (wrote my r6 off three years ago and said no more bikes for me) and what bike to get finally decided on the xt. Decided on the xt because it had a more upright riding position so no pressure on damaged wrist and shoulder, can have fun at a more sane speed considering our shocking roads here in NZ, and running costs maintenance insurance etc.
So after hunting trademe and other sites for about six months found a black 05 with stage one and two filters GYTR pipes power comander and only 11500km with two owners for $6800 so thought that was a good deal only problem it was 200km away, so after talking to the owner and making sure it was as good as he said scabbed a ride up to check it out and hand over the money.
It turned out to be in very tidy condition and after taking it for a ride straight into the country I felt quite comfortable on it, it had great handling pretty good power and I didnt notice any surging at that stage so handed over the cash and rode the 200km home only complaint was a bit of a sore bum so not to bad.
So far i've done about 1000km commuting and motorway riding mostly and have noticed the surging now quite bad. The previous owner had adjusted the co up from were it had been (6 to 30) so I reasoned that the power comander would have been tuned in at 6 so I adjusted it down and it still surged untill I got it down to 6 were the surging has just about gone and the bike is great to ride around town though it does seen to be down a bit on power and running a bit hotter from before so I will have to save up a bit and get it on the dyno to check it out for peace of mind but for now I wiil enjoy it over xmas yah.
