Hello fellow XT-riders!
The unthinkable has happened. After some 78,000km of torturing my bike through all corners of Europe the engine of my XT660R started to sound very sickly within the last couple of weeks.
After an inspection today my friend the mechanic concluded, that one of the bearings is seriously screwed and that the most advisable and cost effective would be to change the whole engine.
I'm still shocked.
Did something like this happen to one of you too?
Are there any good sources for affordable used XT engines?
Please let me know.
Every day of not being able to ride is like being emasculated.
Greetings from Austria
