Dutchie is on a distinguished road
XT660X for track and road

I will update this thread every now and then!

today is the first 70km I ever road on a Yamaha XT660X.

I thought I really had to get used to the supermoto riding style but it feels kinda natural!

the bike is running on pilot powers and almost got the chicken strips from the previous owner off.

I read so much on this forum about the good and bad things about the XT and I could recognize them all.

- under heavy braking its hard to steer into the corner because the front is going down so much. ( this problem will get solved, this winter the XT will get a nice setup for hyperpro suspension <3 )
( with that said, lots of peeps say you can feel its heavy.. I only felt that its heavy when I tried to wheely. that XT wants to eat corners for every meal of the day)
- The tire pressure is very sensitive on the XT. a few 0.1 bars can make the difference between sliding or ripping the out of the corner.
- The on/off injection is really there, the Kev fuel mod will probably fix that this winter
- I need supermoto boots and need to train my face muscles because I have smiled all 70km and it hurts haha

Tomorrow I'm going to ride with my wife as a pillion, I'll post one update before winter hybernation and next year is going to be interesting ( lots of track days, and lots of road riding in Germany ) so that will have lots of updates.
