howdy guys an gals still learnin my way around the site looks good,have a fzs 1000 but always wanted a supermoto so im here to research which model is the better on to buy im lookin at a 07 model xtx660 soon but ive heard something about fueling problems so am i better off with a newer model ja think, mods sorry if this is the wrong place for these questions

Hi mate & welcome, as far as I know they all suffer from running a bit lean from the factory which results in 'surging' at some running speeds. I ride a Tenere myself & have fitted Kev's fuel & O2 mods which sort things out nicely. I believe fitting DNA air filters with the said Kev Mods are the way to go with the X model.

Hi Shelton, welcome! , your on the best forum for sure!!, and I second everything Desert Racer said. I see your from Cork...I lived near Skibereen for nine years and return every year to West Cork. Steve

cheers for the welcome guys ,,,yep greatescape skibb is a nice spot i regularly head down that way for a blast ,lovely when the sun is shining lol

Welcome on board mate

You'll be fine with an 07 model. These are the first models to be fitted with an O2 sensor and do benefit massively from fitting an O2 Controller as has already been touched upon. Regarding the fueling (surging), it may be worth having a read of this thread as it explains what years and ECUs are affected.

I wouldn't get too hung up on the fuelling, it can be sorted pretty cost effectively. Concentrate on getting the best bike you can for your budget, whatever the age. A service history (whether DIY with receipts or dealer), low miles and a bike that's been cherished and well cared for are more important factors than age. I've seen plenty of two/three year old dogs about, and plenty of nine/ten year old minters.
