hi there!
I just bought my new 2007 XTX (a week ago) and I have to say that although I loved this bike since it was introduced, however I had to make a bunch of phone calls to friends here in Greece in order to get as much information about the goods and bads of this bike before I decide to buy it.
The first thing I heard was about the "famous" cut-outs which still are a pain in the b..t for many XT owners --as far as I can see of course--.
I was also told that the last couple of years this problem was fixed and I would not have any trouble with my 2007 XTX (well.... this remains to be seen)
So I really hope this has been fixed and I am glad to see that through the tech-forum you give so much help to the members anyway. Good job guys.
So anyway, the bike seems to be the IDEAL transportation within the city limits and not only!!! So cool when you drive smooth and slow, so wild when you you feel like waking up the neighbours hehe...
take care you all.
