zzzak Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzzak Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
