Hi folks, new here, signed up as I'm about to buy an xt, so best to get the info on it all from those who know best.

So, a few questions if you will allow me to indulge.

Is there anything I should be looking out for when I got to buy said machine ? I'm aware of the slow speed surge issue, but is there anything in particular I should be checking for around the bike ?

It's an 04 model with very little mileage if that's any help.

I'm also interested to know about all the aribox upgrades. I've done some extensive reading on here about them all but am finding it all a bit bewildering tbh.

Stage one this, stage two that, stage three airbox., snorkels here and there. I'm after the simplest and cheapest form of sorting out the air nin laymans terms dfor the dummy (me).

Cheers folks.
