Just picked up a second hand xt660z tenere 09 model in japan with 29000. Ironically which is imported as they are not sold here in japan. So lots of admirers, shame its always blokes though. Keeps her indoors happy.

It came with after market exhausts, heated grips and i have ordered a (dna filter stage 2(3) (what does 2(3) mean, like its 2 but could be a 3 just to keep you guessing), kev fuel mod and ard panniers.

I must have read every post on the site twice over (apart from the rules). And have to say i am one confused mess.

The source of my confusion is which mods are for which models.

As stated in many posts the bikes run out of the box, but clearly i want it running in the best working condition as i can.

Can any body advice me as to which modifications are suited to my model. i am aware of the rectifier problem and cush dives being frequent problems.
But what about the CO2 adjusting up 10 points etc is that applicable to my model?

And tires how many times have i read that forum. Which tires are for me no idea. 80 percent on road (work) about 140 km everyday and a little mud and mainly forest tracks on the weekend. Other things to consider is i ride in the rainy season with heavy panniers (work). Usual answer is buy a car. My reply is always f************* beautuful wife.
Due to heavy panniers considering getting wider tyres, upgrade chain and sprockets but which tyre?
Considering tkc80 or tourance ex or (avon distanzia (maybe not this because too difficult to change)(no close bike shop)) i like the sound of tkc80 as many people say there easy to change, can handle light of roading and have good mileage. Worried about the long road work and heavy rain.

As i understand many people are exchanging their front sproket to 14 tooth to increase low gear power. After some research it is adviced elsewhere not to decrease the front sprocket as this increases ware to expensive parts but to increase th rear sprocet by two to four teeth. Is this advisable?

Also with regards to the rectifier would it be safe to assume that if after 29000 km on the clock without trouble then i the part is not faulty?

Finally is anyone making and selling any long lasting cush dives? It seems like a easy way to make a few quid for the right person.
