I shook hands on a 2014 XT660z yesterday (details here: http://www.gumtree.co.za/a-motorcycl...70910171044109).

I should pick the bike up later this week and will have a day or two max to prep it before I have to leave (I have a fixed commitment in Zimbabwe on 14 June so need to leave by Sunday 12 June at the latest).

As I know nothing about the XT660z I would really appreciate some guidance on essential preparation. I'll therefore try and find the right subforum and post up some specific questions.

Cheers
Andy
