welcome from sunny lancashire :)

Hello and welcome to :660:

Thanks for the welcome everyone. So far XT-R home serviced. Engine oil & filter, magnetic sump plug. Also air filter, Fork seals & yam fork 10W oil replaced. Spark plug to do. Taller screen and rack for some light touring c/o eBay. Thinking of taking it to TT 2014 instead of the Versys to blat round some of the lovely back roads. New rear Mitas E-08 scrubbing in well. Contemplating a matched mitas front tyre once the Mich Sirac 90/90-21 is ready to be changed.

Any tips? The Aussy Fuel mod looks interesting. Thought there are fuel settings in the menu on the dash?

also chain&sprockets? Which are good.
Wouldn't mind some throaty cans but enjoying the polite put-put-pop put-put of the XT-R ;-)
Thanks for any advice/ tips
