Sheffield XT660x Rider!
 

Hello All ! My Names Alejandro

Bought my First XT660x around two months ago. (2009 Model)

My first Super moto And I love it !

I come from a wide range of different Bikes ( Ranging from Ninja 636, BMW K100 RS, Honda CRM 250 AR etc)

Absolutely love the low down grunt and easy riding on this bike, But found the Fueling to be a bit poo and sometimes get Shakiness/ Piston slap low really low down ?

(Maybe Im not used to the BIG singles ?)

Hoping in the next few months to get a Bored out Cylinder (104mm) and forged Piston with slightly bigger Throttle body.

Just wanting a slightly more OMPH ( Would love to Aim for around 60 - 65 BHP ), But not sure if I would need a professional remap for this of if a power commander would Suffice? I must do my research :)

Plan to come to the 10th anniversary Party if any one is convoying down from Sheffield way ?

:006: Welcome on board Alejandro.

Keep the revs up and things will smooth out. They don't like being lugged along at low revs and they'll never pull smoothly off tick-over like a multi will.

60-65hp is possible with a lot of work/expense and bear in mind, all the extra power will come at the top end and at the expense of low/mid-range drive. If that's what you want to achieve, then as you say, get reading - there's plenty of info in the technical sections.

I'm sure you'll find some company! ;)

Wow thats a lot of work on that thread !

I don't think I can do quite that much ( not enough Funds nor time as this is my daily commute Bike!)

Would love more power over the range, but just want more of a kick so that front wheel lifts a bit more :)

Maybe I lust for more Torque .... ? ( More research needed!)

Hi. Your not far from me then. I use mine for commuting. The parkway Is fun at half 7 on a morning.

Hey Pinky ! I actually live in Elsecar ( right next to rotherham !)

And I work near Sheffield Motor point Arena ( near the Parkway!)

You don't happen to pass forgemasters in a morning do you ?

I sometimes see another XT passing by there :)

:hello: and :welcome: to :660:

There are ways to to contain and improve the poor low revs performance.

Thanks :)

Had a look through these, Think the Boaring is going to be better than getting a Raptor 700 head on it, trying to find a spare Cylinder top end is a nightmare though !

Time to ring all your local breaker's yards for a sick XT sold for spares

Think Ive found one near me who have one, Would a pre Fuel injected 02 sensor engine be ok with my 2009 02 sensor fuel injected one ? Want to send head of to get it bored and porting :)
