Moderator DirtyDT Posted September 11, 2011 Moderator Posted September 11, 2011 Herro and welcome Glasshopper. I am a big fan of the XT660's myself. Read up on the issues they had on the throttle control before you buy. That said I would have one.
grasshopper Posted September 11, 2011 Author Posted September 11, 2011 good afternoon honourable members , thankyou for making me welcome ! .I took the first step cautious step into the huge world of bikes and biking yesterday afternoon i actually got out to see a potential purchase at a dealer , a very clean and well presented xt660x which is right up my street and the right price, going to take for a test ride during the week if the wheather behaves but what i wanted to know is is there any issues apart from the throttle control which i have been warned about( thankyou Dirty dt) that i should ask about? thankyou
Moderator DirtyDT Posted September 11, 2011 Moderator Posted September 11, 2011 Not that I know of. Fab bikes providing you don't want top speed.
grasshopper Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 honorable members Took a drive to Ipswich today to try out the xt660x, loved it bags of low down torque comfortable to ride and really easy i was suprised having never ridden one before didn't want to give it back ,its very tempting might have to break open the piggy bank ! keep you posted
