I have an 07 XTX and it's great, but can't see what's so wrong with an 04. Just follow the extensive guides on here and you'll have it sorted soon, if it isn't already of course.
I actually prefer the look of the pre 07 models with the longer front cowls and slightly rounder bodywork.
Not that I'm offering a swap or anything, but be happy, you've got a great bike. Any pics?

I have an 08 XTX
I rewired it 2004 style and replaced ECU also.
Bike now runs much better.
So, I think, in theory, your 04 bike will run smoother than the 07 model..
I don't know how the other year bikes compare but my 08 didn't run so well before ECU swap. LambdaBolx

Welcome to the forum

Pitty you got let down by the dealer on the 07 xtx, but the 04 should still satisfy your supermoto/XT addiction.

hi and welcome to the forum

who knows, the 07 might have been a lemon and the dealer did you a favour!

Hello, welcome,

For a while the X's seamed to be out of favour here in blighty, everyone was going for the Tenere. Nice to see newbies coming along with X's, we need diversity.
