Hi everyone,
I bought an 09 XTX just a few weeks ago and I'm lovin' it! Glad to have found your site I and look forward to exchanging some hints 'n' tips on XT ownership on here. I'm very impressed with the wealth of specialist knowledge on here, and I've only had a limited browse around so far!

Been ridin' bikes 35 years without any gaps; for the last couple of years I've had two big heavy bikes (a Suzuki GSX1400 and a Harley Fat Bob) but I've been missing having something light and chuckable to enjoy on the back lanes and in the traffic on the daily commute - the XT660X certainly fits the bill!

A few years back I had a couple of Honda XR400R's for green laning, but latterly I supermoto'd one and it was a total weapon on the road. Unfortunately it got stolen, so I guess I've been hankering ever since to get back onto something similar. I looked at the KTM 690 but it didn't quite gel for me. I didn't like the style of the older ones and the newer ones were too pricey. Then I test-rode my XTX and fell in love with it instantly. Just luuurve the instant punch from that gutsy motor.

I was lucky with my purchase, it's already got Quill Evo2 (titanium) cans on it, big-bore link pipes, and a K&N air filter.

On my test ride route I had lots of open road and little traffic, so I didn't notice the fuelling glitches that later became apparent once I used her at slower speeds and light throttle in traffic. Now improved a lot following a TPS tweak to 19 and setting the CO to 17-20, but there's still a noticeable glitch so I'd like to try and improve that further.

Sorry for the long intro, but thought you should know a bit about me!

Cheers all, look forward to chatting here on the forum!
