Got that running and enjoyed it so much bought an Africa Twin to explore further afield. After a trip to Elan valley in Wales decide AT was too big and heavy so bought a 660z in September. Was a standard bike so have started to mod. So far K+N high flow air filter, removed snorkel, Venom slip on exhaust, EO9 tyres, blanked off AIS, shortened screen and blanked off under headlight. Still got to do fork oil, seat re-profile, move horn, fender extender, 12v socket, +,+ the list will continue.
Considering Kev mod but mine already pulls from 2000 rpm in top so other than a bit smoother will i achieve much?
My son also has Tenere but has been fully modified so have a good comparison his bike has progressive springs, PCV, high front mudguard, high flow air filter, MTC exhaust, pivot pegs. side by side performance is the same at a range of situations. His is smoother than mine but no quicker.
This site has already been a wealth of information and i thank you in advance for all the help.
