Just had the second service done on my 07 XTX and got them to sling in some new cush drive rubbers. The bikes done 5600m, and what a difference, so much smoother. So if you're putting it off, do it soon.
The mechanic had also swapped his sports bike for an XTX and was moaning about the life and grip of the pirellis. Had to sing the praises of my distanzias and he's going to give em a try.

Did you tell him about the great forum we have here at XT660. Im sure he will love it as most people do.

Also why not trying packing out your crush drives with some old rubber inner tube or some sort of rubber. Means you save money to spend on petrol to go out for a good ride with.
