Good morning all!
Toying with the idea of moving on my modified XChallenge, it's looking like i won't be able to do any trips any time soon, and it would be a shame to leave it gathering dust in the garage.
The bike itself is a 2007 model, and i've owned it since it was 6 months old, and had 40 miles on it. Mileage now is just over 25k. It's always been regularly serviced in that time, normally oil changes every 500-1000 miles.
In the last 600 miles both the forks and rear shock have been serviced, as well as new clutch and throttle cables. Rear swingarm greased in the last 1500 miles.
The bike has also had a modifications carried out:
Engine mods:
Unifilter pre and main filters.
Later clutch cover with steel inserts and new clutch control shafts fitted. Clutch plates checked at 22k miles and found to be within tolerance for new clutch plates.
Remus header and standard can, decatted.
Scheffielmeir bash plate and case saver.
Pace full width radiator fitted.
Chasis modifications:
48mm WP forks fitted. Forks taken from a ktm 690 enduro r. Standard spring rate works very well on the XC, and they only have an additional 5mm of travel, so they don;t upset the geometry. Forks are fitted with an EXC set of tripple clamps, the center stem of which has been machined down slightly to take stock XC head bearings. Currently has a talon front wheel with HD spokes and excel rim fitted.
It also has a top end hyperpro rear shock, comes with remote reservoir and pre-load adjuster.
Pivot pegs- just serviced with new bush kit.
Hot rod welding Xtank.
Hot rod welding rear rack.
Rear subframe has had additional alluminium plate welded in to strengthen it- no issues.
Rays seat from Holland. Fitted before i rode the TAT, and never have a hint of arse-ache since.
Also comes with:
Powered Garmin montana mount.
2x 30w cree spots- never fear riding in the dark again!- perfect for the HardAlptour!
Probably a few other mods as well that i've forgotten about as well.
Bike would be sold with oil change and valve check.
I swore i' never sell this after 9000 trouble free miles across the states. But i keep looking at it thinking its wasted sat in the garage...
Condition wise, mechanically it's good. I hate stuff breaking down so it receives a lot of attention. Cosmetically it shows that it's been used. Plastics have the usual scuff marks, and the frame is light on paint where my boots have been rubbing. There are also usual signs of corrosion on the motor.
what do you think?
