I�ve just bought an 08 XTR, I barely know anything about bikes but am very eager to learn. I don�t want to be �that guy� that just takes it in to the shop if anything may be wrong or needs a service, I want to learn to do it all (within reason) myself. I�m near Brisbane, Australia and don�t know of anyone to teach me. May someone show me the ropes please?

Hi there,

So what side of Brisy are you on ? I am up at Toowoomba and am happy to give you a hand anytime if that helps, I have a 09 XT660R.

I would think there will be a few willing to help you out as well.

PM me if you like, cheers.

Shane.

and to

We happen to have our most expert mechanic who actually lives in Brisbane, his name is Kev send him a pm and arrange a meeting.

Welcome mate, we all started some where, there is tons of info on this forum with many members always willing to help out.

I would start your reading from this link, http://www.xt660.com/showthread.php?t=630 or have a look at my mod book which lists 99% of every XT660 mod.
