1 is their a difference in seat height...an how much if so A lot higher

2 Does it run any better, is teh surging still there No surging and runs better

3 Does the seat push ye towards the front o the tank or is it comfortable..as i sit in the middle o the XTR You are stuck in one postion with hardly any room for movement ,prefer the R

4whats the wind blast like. will it buffet me wi the high screen if ma head is above it.. Buffeting is not to bad

5 Does it keep the rain off ye any better NO

6do they all come wi the heavy duty looking swing arm as the bikes a 09 Not sure

7is the carrying weight any better Very similar to the R ,Yamaha advise you not to use side boxes and the top box though

8 is it the same rear shock or is it better than the XTR What was wrong with the R

9tell me more....????

If i were to buy another xt i would go for the R version ,but i dont do much long distance travelling ,if i did i would go for the Ten due to the tank range and higher riding postion
