Hi all XT officinardos
Hi I'm Tom and the proud new owner of an orange XT 660 Z.
I have an R1 and bought the XT as something to keep me riding through the winter...but I can fast see this bike being in constant all year round use as its so much fun! I've riden big singles in the past - but I have to say that I cant remember riding a bike that's so comfortable and easy to get along with....I've been braving the damp cold weather constantly for the past 3 weeks and even in the ice I have had a huge smile on my face. There is one minor issue...and it seems that its a common issue, but I'm yet to resolve. The bike cuts out for absolutely no reason occasionally. I can ride for an hour and not have an issue, then out of the blue it just conks. It happens after decelerating, for example coming off a dual carriageway slip road , slowing to the roundabout and just prior to stopping it sort of blows itself out. On a number of occasions Ive been pulling into side roads and just as you drop in it suddenly fails - which can be a little disconcerting! Would love to hear from anyone who has experienced the same and who maybe able to point me in the right direction. Keep riding! Tom |
