Hi everyone,
I'm Boyd, from Durban, South Africa. I recently acquired a beat up XT660X (2007 in flaming orange) that is in need of some TLC. I started researching and came across this website. Just what I need. So I'll have lots of questions, and I'm sure will get the answers.

The bike was left out under a carport for probably over a year. In Durban, with our heat and humidity, this is a no no. It seems that although the bike has some high quality components, it also has some really cheap components. The bike has consequently got rusted forks, corrosion on nuts and bolts and fasteners, mirror stalks look like something out of a horror movie, but nothing that's not fixable. It was cheap.

So for the next few months or more I will be possibly spending a bit of time here.
Cheers - Boyd
