Welcome home XT660Z (name not yet given)

Picked this bike up on Wednesday, pretty good condition but did need some minor attention.  Two days later all is nearly done:

  • All missing or rusty nuts, bolts and screws replaced. 
  • Rusty areas treated. 
  • Garmin mount installed.
  • Luggage rack installed.
  • Stickers and glue removed.
  • Wheels cleaned but the spokes will need a bit more work on them.
  • Washed and Polished.
  • Tyres are knobblies and will have to go; but I will fit the part used one of the XRV750 when I can.
  • Small crack in plastic panel repaired.
  • Side stand repaired and painted
  • Foot pegs removed, cleaned and painted and new rubbers fitted.


Excellent buy.   I planned to possible resell it in Aug / Sep after I return from the USA (on the XRV750)
