The steering issue could be your steering head bearings could need some attention....🤔

Thats how my XT sounds & feels!...an absolute Blast....especially railing down a road like this....😎

I had an XT660X many years ago. always liked that bike although people at the time thought it a little odd but motards weren't exactly common back in 2007.

I had Staintunes and a DNA air filter setup, it sounded great.

Not mine but you get the picture.

One thing that I really liked about my X was the fuel gauge, reset the trip meter when you filled it up and the light would come on at half a tank so you then knew what your range was, typically it came on at around 210k's.
