Bimbler Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Just thought I'd pop in and say hi, I'm a bit new to this but I've had a look round and it all seems quite civilised. I've been around bikes since the late '60s my first real bike was a James 250 Sports Superswift and then moved on to Bonnies and a Triton and then the same old story marriage and all that, just the odd small commuting honda but nothing for a while. Anyway I recently got an XT 660 R and well I'm impressed. Its the most comfortable machine I've ridden and suits me perfect. Ive got a couple of questions if someone can answer or advise, First can anyone recommend a suitable replacement chain and sprocket kit nothing too fancy or pricey (ub 40) I'm no boy racer and occasionally do a bit of green laning. Secondly any advice on smoothing out a bit the "surging injector problem" at low revs I seem to remember reading something about that somewhere. Anyway any thoughts appreciated, cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator DirtyDT Posted February 17, 2013 Moderator Share Posted February 17, 2013 A power commander will smooth out the surge. Welcome to the forum. John - Loved my KLE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimbler Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 Cheers John, I've looked into the power commander it looks a bit technical for me but will try and boff up a bit on it and see where I get. I cant believe how out of touch I am with the technical developments of bikes, need a degree of some sort nowadays before I start tinkering. Anyway, touch wood, the reliability factor is there now so I'll just enjoy the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
