Hi From East Yorkshire
 

Hia all :icon_cool:


I've just bought a 2004 XT660R - seems nice enough bike, needs fork seals and an MOT then hopefully lots of riding will ensue!


Here a link to my other bike, thread goes on a bit as its a full strip and rebuild, nice bit of reading i'm told for a quiet evening in... http://www.lancerregister.com/showthread.php?t=437503 I plan to do the same with the XT but it will be next summer now as the garage has a car in it that i am storing over winter.


Looks like no doubt i'll be starting a few threads with various questions so be gentle :)


Very much looking forward to becoming part of the community :coolsmiley:

You're most :welcome: to :660:

Enjoy the bike and the forum

:006: Welcome on board Rich.

Good luck with the MOT and enjoy the XT660 experience, both on here and on the road.

Cheers :)

I just thought - i should have posted a link to my other bike, thread goes on a bit as its a full strip and rebuild, nice bit of reading i'm told for a quiet evening in :)

Welcome to the forum. Enjoy! You are at the right place.

Oooh yeah after winter off course and it will give me time to get mine ready for summer :blob5:,

Mega mate I love GSXR 750 I had the K6 750 fab bike till I hit some diesel that's an other story :cussing: :mumum:
I am doing the same to my xt660x she has been used as a work bike and needs some nice TLC not a lot just to make her look like a 2008 bike should.

Hi mate thank you pal from East Yorkshire :SpinHappy_15XK8L:

yep akros:) but they haven't sounded that brill for awhile as when i bought them the kid who fitted the baffles didnt tighten them up so they blasted out down the road lol but over the next 2 months she will be getting abit of dosh throwen at her to get the correct baffles :) a chainroller and also the swing arm rubber pad and rumour has it im fitting a tachometer to it aswell :)xd apart from that she just needs her road wheels putting on and a damb good clean cos knoberlys and winter through up so much dirt its unreal lol oh and the akros stage 2 etc. cant wait for this rideout now ? any ideas where to ? also theres a white 09 i think xt660x in hull somehwere with leovinces that looks like a proper wepon and also a blue and black 06 i think xt660x also with leovinces on that i have seen round the stonederry area .... anyone know who they are would be great to maybe get in touch with them aswell?. ash

NO baffles sweet pal the best way lol :laughing9:, Yes I've seen the white one looks mega and the sound is sweeeeet does look like a weapon, not seen the blue one yet though I am East Hull what part off Hull is yourself? The ride out will be fun can't wait it will be my first supermoto ride out in a group as well as I am use to sportbikes groups and riding:ytiller: , and I've got a feeling this way will be more fun :icon_lol: and do more miles with out the pain lol, We can sort the ride out closer to the time if that's ok, I do love the Hull to Hornsea road not done it on a supermoto yet its going to be a mega road for one I know that, I am doing a shopping list for mine next week :wav:
Have you been doing some off-roading I was on sunday on a YZF450 wow they have some power if the xt660x is like that I will be buzzing.

east hull apollo pub area and no baffles is to loud tbh lol and yeah my mates tend to have 125s so should be a fun ride and i was thinking further a field likie moors or lakes in a day lol but yeah hornsea and with back roads are a start lol and nope not been of roading with them yet lol just been ready for the snow lol as i commute home from work at 1 am lol

never road the yzf and its hard to comapre on power cos mine feels queite tame with its mods removed but i suppose im to used to the mods lol ? are u crazy knees down sort of people or fast and safe ?

Great looking machine there :cool:

cheers any pics of yours anywhere?

Mines just an almost standard bike - nothing to see :D

Fitted some hand grips and a Puig screen since then - cracking bike for sure, though very vibi above 80mph - not that i really use it at those speeds during my local commute.

Looks smart. And thats strange mines fine at 100 on road tyres

That's interesting - will have to look into it. The chains seen better days but other than that, hmmmm :)

Does it feel like wheel vibration Type sensation e.g out of ballance? My road tyres are fine at 115 just front end feels light and twitchy but no vibration if i was you i would get that chain looked at asap i was lucky when i snapped mine it flicked down the road with no damage while wheeling but could of wipped my gearbox case out or locked my back wheel mine had a stiff link which is where mine eventually failed. If i remember right that caused a little vibaration . Even my knobberlys feel vibration less if you dash upto 80 with them bit ii havent tried highspeed cruise with them lol

Fine looking bikes there guys :WellDone_OROQR1:

Cheers Darksector :)


The vib's arent tires - the chain has a tight spot, i havent replaced it yet though as i only trundle around town on my daily commute, i'll fit new chain and sprockets once the salt has gone and i'm out and about more on the bike :)

Anytime RichW looking forward to the ride out :coolsmiley:

And yes wait till all the salt has gone and the weather gets better before you change your chain then it will be :ebay: time lol

Anyone up for a ride tommorrow still running the tkc but if anyone wants to go for a blast?

Braaaaaaaptastic looking machine :()
