Nice mileage too Hunday! Mind to share the issues you had with it? Thanks in advance!

Joinville, SC, Brasil? :happy:

Sim! Morava em Floripa mas estou a 3 meses aqui!

Legal!
Pilotando uma XT tamb�m?
Bota em ingl�s tamb�m, heheheh.

Good!
Riding a XT too?

Yeap riding an XT too. I'm also a member of the xt600 and I know Hart personally from Floripa.

Any contributions to the thread? anyone? I don't mean to hijack the thread or stimulate people to ventilate their anger towards their bikes and manufacturers. What I think would be a productive discussion would be a general list of things that broke (or not) on their bikes. Every bike/car/mechanical project can and will fail eventually but I think that it would be nice to know what problems one could expect should we find a pattern.

Robson's gear problem for instance, although not desired he has ridden 99k km on it so lots of "smile per mile" on the many trips he's made. Is that something we could expect from this engine? If so, around this mileage or has it happened to someone else earlier?

Is the frame prone to cracks? If so, under what kind of use/abuse?

The idea here is simply to get know our XT660 project a bit better so trashing and bashing is not productive.

Cheers and peace!

Peach + anyone else that has used this product... would this stuff be suitable to wrap around the wiring under the saddle as a substitute? I removed all the insulating tape + thin rubberish sheaths in order to try & locate an electrical fault (with no luck, see below for further details!). This rescue tape stuff seems ideal as it seals water out and apparently doesn't leave a sticky mess behind if/when you remove it.



Zensurf, mate I've had my bike for just over four years now & have clocked up about 45000kms (I'm a fair weather rider :p)

Problems to date...headlight bulb was blowing last summer, was due to vibes...easily fixed.

Recently I've had bigger problems, namely the ecu going norman bates on me. Thankfully with the help of the Capt and Kev I should have that fixed shortly.

Otherwise I'm all happy with her. I ride her very hard when solo and also do a fair bit of two up fully loaded touring with the Mrs.

Denny, it's just heat shrink cable cover as you get in any electrical stores and they come in various size. :coastguard:
