I hear what you are saying about the rear end & especially the cans. They are ridiculous. I just yesterday replaced mine on the R with an Akropvic single can.

The factory cans are so heavy, I feel like weighing them. The bike felt genuinely easier to push around the workshop, and better on the road & gravel riding today.

As Captn Moto says you might want to go the MTC cans & DNA stage 2 as soon as you can.

Cheers, Boneman
Less of the hearing aid! Lmao, you only jellouse lol

Hi buddy welcome oneboard. You woll love your xtz. Its a fantastic bike allthough many will agree that the back end is horrid as is the low front fender in my oppinion.

I will be changing the tail for an drc anato tail light which makes the rear end look sweet. Have also ordered a high front fender and will in time be fitting a single MTC can! After that my....ahem.....karkhi......coloured ten will look amazing!

Enjoy buddy and welcome
