Hi All
 
I'm pretty new to this biking game... I passed my mod 2 last week having done my CBT last October. I got an 08-reg XT660Z on Monday and I'm loving it. I've been riding a WR125R for the last 8 months and the XT is a refreshing change.

Whilst searching for an XT I was lucky to test ride one with some Leo Vince cans on and it sounded tremendous - I didn't buy that one though as I didn't like the colour (blue). Leo Vince cans will be my first mod, as soon as I can afford it. I assume there will be no MoT test problems with these fitted?

Thanks to all of you for this great resource, I've been reading lots already.

Guzlr.

Good morning and welcome to the site - hope you enjoy the bike and site.
Cant help re the question about the exhaust but my guess is that they would be ok.:toothy10:

Thanks Mort :-)
The WR was an excellent bike, very light, agile and well balanced. My only gripe was lack of power (15bhp), but obviously that was necessary for me to be able to ride it legally as a learner in the UK. Even then, I could get over 60mph on the flat - eventually. Be aware that it's a rather tall bike with a seat height of 915mm. This is even taller than my XTZ and, although I'm 6'1", I couldn't put both feet flat on the floor so had the odd 'hairy moment' and did drop it more than once whilst stationary. Fortunately this only ever cracked the mirrors and they are pretty cheap at Wemoto (<�20). I think there are lower seat options available if you are not so tall.

Thanks CaptMoto.

How do the MTC's compare to the Leo Vinces' in terms of sound? Do they have removable baffles? And what's the difference between the round, oval and tri-oval cans? Is it just aesthetic?

Sorry for all the questions.

Thanks GUSIR, a mate and his friend have 125 for touring chines crap.:smilies0546:

I have the Leo Vince cans on my XTX and the quality and ease of fit are excellent, price not too bad here in Italy (430 Euros) and the sound is very good, meaty and not too loud. Of course you must look at the MTC exhausts given the special pricing available. Enjoy your XT660!!!

Hey Marc, I'm not diss-ing blue if that's your thing. Note that the 2009 XTZ blue is a lighter blue than your XTR and doesn't look as good as the black when combined with the grey bash panels - in my opinion. I like the XTR blue BTW, I used to have a blue WR125 before I got my full license.

Hi, yes they have removable baffles, sound compared to Leo Vince's you'd be hard pressed to tell them apart blind folded.

Oval, round or trioval, just aesthetics. yup!

Have fun and welcome:eusa_dance: GUZIR.

Haha It's just my way of saying I am jealous.. I think your Z looks great man.

I belong to another forum and when they can't find any thing to pick at on a bike they pick at the colour...

Cheers

Toning down the grey plastic - that's exactly why I chose black too (although the only other choices back in 2008 were white or beige).

Welcome Guzlr! Hope you have many happy years riding and enjoying the fun of a thumper :toothy1:
