Hello from Innsbruck!
 

Hey guys,

I'm new to the Forums and therefore I'd like to introduce myself. :) My name is Christoph, I'm 26 years old and from the beautiful city of Innsbruck in Tyrol, Austria. I'm currently attending the police academy and in my free time I like listening to music, meeting with friends, doing Krav Maga, watching TV etc. - and of course I love everything that's got an engine. :) I'm addicted to motorcycles since I was 18 and I used to own a XT 660 R some years ago. What a great bike she's been! Unfortunately I had to sell her 'cause I needed a car and couldn't afford both but I always knew that I'd be back on two wheels as soon as possible. :)

So, some days ago I decided that it was time to finally do it and so I seized the opportunity and bought one awesome '08 XT 660 Z which was sold near me! And here she is, desert-colored and with about 42,000 miles on her odometer. :icon_salut:

I'm looking forward to having some interesting discussions and chats with you all and I'm totally thrilled to own one XT 660 again. Woohoo! :D

Cheers,
Christoph

Hi Christoph, keep in touch as I will be in Austria this summer.

Travelling round as much of Europe as I can!
Would be nice to meet some other T�n�r� riders along the way.
Cheers, Steve.

Hello & enjoy mate. I'll also be in Austria in September, unfortunately in a hire car, from Prague to Vienna with the family. But I will keep an eye out for Tenere's.

Hallo Christoph,

Sch�ne Gr��e aus Bayern nach Tirol!

Vielleicht sehen wir uns ja mal

Habe die Ehre

Hi and welcome. You've managed to get the best colour!

PS. look like the Regulator has been modified as well, or just put in ftront of the protector plate.

Hey,

thanks everyone, happy to be here! :)
@steveD: The previous owner moved it frontwards so "that it gets a bit more cooling when driving". Don't know if it makes too much sense, though.

One question: It has been lowered by quite a bit - it's not exactly a huge problem but I'd like to restore the factory default. The original parts are to hand, but is that something I can do on my own without too much trouble? Or would it be better to let that be done by a professional?
