Hi guys.
My Tenere is not as snappy like when I first got it (Ive had it now for just 2 weeks!). It used to bullet in the low revs but is now rather lazy through the gears and it feels maxed out when it isn�t. It feels like something is stifling it or holding it back. Open throttle and effort= average speed\power. It is not sluggish but it feels like flogging a tired horse or like expecting 660 performances out of a 200; power is just not there. On the longer stretches it only wants to do 90-100km\h (and only because I �demand� it) and it is no longer excited and willing to jump to higher speeds. I have to squeeze it out of it.

I am not reckless or irresponsible rider. Medium rider at best. I did a bit of dirt roading recently (mud, sand, rocks, water), not dusty per se, and I washed the bike when I got home.. The air filter (DNA r-y6e08-01) did have a wee bid of water when I cleaned it. I have since done a 200km tarmac trip. If it�s a wet air filter it should be dry by now, right? Anyway, that night at home I tipped the bike over http://www.xt660.com/showthread.php?p=205487 and the next morning I could immediately feel the lack of power. The speedo and trip meters have since been fixed.


As Im still learning the bike I would greatly appreciate any tips so I can fix it myself (if not too technical). What would the checklist be? Air filter? Injectors? Sparkplug? Sensors? Do I just leave it?
I am quite despondent.


Thanks in advance for your advice.
