Hey everyone, not posted for a while so hi to all and sorry for my recent lack of contribution!
Anyway I've decided to let my faithful XT go, I bought her with 2k on the clock now she has 20k after 2 and a half years of ownership. Shes been 100 percent reliable (apart from a flat battery once), very cheap to run (all servicing done by moi) and still rides as well as the day I bought her.
Mods are PC3, k and N stage 1, DNA stage 2 and renthal chain and sproket kit which are all well reccomended as are Metzler Tourance tyres (but careful in the wet!).
Amazingly due to the fast b road riding I do Ive only change the front and rear pads once.... recently!
For a cheap commuter which is a giggle in the twisties and can be taken for the occational trail blast these bikes are perfect, low maintenece fun machines!
For---Good on fuel, cheap consumables, cheap insurance, great in traffic, versitile, light(ish), very reliable, torquey and did I mention FUN!!!!!
Against--- Needs a few more bhp, too heavy for serious trailsters, crap on motorways, your mates will probably loose you on a Sunday blast and the tank capacity is a little small (15 litres)
Overall 8/10 if its what you're after
Reason for sale =KTM adventure 950 or 990!
