Posted October 4, 200519 yr I HAVE A XT 660 R AT ABOUT 140 TO 170KM IT SNAKES FROM THE FRONT, I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT AND THEY TELL ME ALL OF THEM DO THIS. I WAS THINKING OF CONVERTING IT TO A X MAYBE THAT WILL HELP, BECAUSE OF THE SMALLER TYRE IN FRONT?

October 5, 200519 yr Hi, I also thought so, Is our bike standard? Yeh....mine's absolutely standard. One point though....even those these XT's are capable of 100mph, they're not designed for it. Thin tyres, high suspension, and a high front mudguard that the wind gets under, all contribute to lack of stability at speed compared to a pure road bike. Having said that, there should be no weaves of any kind and it's quite safe....it's just that it won't feel as stable as a road bike.
October 8, 200519 yr Moderator Imagine how Mozzy felt at 105mph on his DT !!! oh those were the days wonder if he still drinks his "fanta shakona"
October 8, 200519 yr Moderator We should all chip in and buy him another just for the stories The Reincarnation of the DT-Meister ......would make for some great posting material!
