Cool New proud owner of a XT660Z Tenere

Hi my name is Quinton and I live in sunny Brisbane Australia.
Love my new Tenere but agree it definitely need some tweaking to get a bit more out of the bike. Any recommendations guys that wont cost me an arm and a leg.

Hi and welcome.

Check out the info on DNA stage 1, 2 & 3 air filters with kevs fuel mod plus of course have a look at changing the exhaust set up.
All the info you need is on the site, you just need to search.
Cheers,

Ian.

Send a pm to Kev, who is our in house mechanic guru, who only happens to live in Brisbane, and book yourself an appointment at his "surgery" to get your bike tuned and prepped.

You lucky lucky man!

Hi Quinton and welcome aboard!

As above: Kev mod + filter give you the best "bang for your buck" with the Ten. After that start saving for a new shock!

pm = private message, a form of private communication among peers of this forum, look at the top right hand side corner of your screen under your username, there is a heading called Private Messages, click on that and click on Send new message, choose the members name, give it a title, and.... keep it brief! We don't want Kev to yawn his way through your message

When you've done click on send and watch for a reply to come from Kev.

Cheers.
