Had my XT about 6 months now. I found after a little research that my British License allows me to drive anything I want in Portugal so :D
Cost me 650euros, not bad tbh. Has a bit of a tick on engine and 35k,000km´s on the clock, goes well and gets about 50mpg. The tick is nothing uncommon from what I have read, and since it hasn´t got any worse in the 3000km that I have done, i´m not concerned.
I have been using it for daily commute and for ´greenlaning´ in the portuguese countryside. Hundreds of km´s of hilly, baron land round here :)
Has needed a few bits and pieces. Since I had it I´ve done
- New clutch cable (snapped when out riding)
- New spark plug
- Adjusted tappets
- New sunstar sprockets and DID VX2 x-ring chain (needed)
- New Semi-offroad tyres (Needed)
- New pads front and back
- New Front and rear wheel bearings + sprocket bearing (front bearing only was needed, rest I did cus might as well)
- New headset
- New gear shift seal (found a bodge with some sort of sealant when doing sprockets)
- New countershaft seal
- New Fork seals + oil
- New chain tensioners (missing)
- New oil and air filters + oil change
- Rear rack
- New rear lights (broken)
Could do with:
- Unbodging indicator relay wiring.
- Possibly a new clutch... not sure.
Here it is (most recent photo I have, bout 5 months ago):
