G'day fella's
I've been a long time stalker
of this forum and finally built my bike with much help from what I've read. This is what I came up with:
2013 XT660Z - 1500km to date
- Teknik springs and valving for forks and shock - no more bottoming out or diving front end when you grab the brakes
- Barrett exhaust - didn't even know I had a rev limiter till I fitted this, sounds great, not too loud and completely opens up the engine
- Pivot pegs - best mod ever, I've had them on 2 other bikes but for some reason they are perfection on the Tenere
- Stage 2 DNA filter - 2013 models comes with a foam filter so I didn't fit the stage 1 filter, can't really say I've noted any significant power gain and the filter gets dirty quick even when riding solo
- Kev's fuel mod - fitted in as insurance when I installed the new pipe, just to rich the mixture up a little
- Venture rack and enduro bag - works great as a commuter and weekend offroad bag
- High guard from OTR - I reckon it helps with the wind buffering, haven't seen any problems with the radiator being fouled
- Wind guard - made from a piece of aluminum checker plate from the Bunnings, cost $24 plus a six pack of beer, made a huge difference the the infamous Tenere wind buffering
- Heidenau K60 scout tyres - like an all terrain 4WD tyres for a bike, I'm really impressed with the grip of road in the dry, wear seems good so far but hopeless in mud, surprise surprise
- Lust Racing lowering link - 25mm
- Guard It sump guard
- Contour bars
- Acerbis Multiplo E hand guards
- SW Motech center stand
Probably going to fit:
- SW Motech crash bars - it's only a matter of time before I drop it, have come close a few times already, I'm only 80kg and 173cm, sometimes it's a handful for me when the road gets snotty
- Metal Mule radiator guard - just in case something gets flicked up
Someone asked the question 'if it got stolen or written off would you get another'....absolutely!
