XTZ660 Suspension and gearing?
Hi all, i have two questions. Firstly I am planing to do an around Australia trip on my 99 XTZ660. I was wondering if the suspension should be upgraded. I expect to be giving the suspension a hammering as some big roads i will be taking have horendious corragations! and the bike will be fully loaded, i weight 65kgs (145lb). So would progressive fronts springs be reccomended for this bike? or just get them rebuilt? And same for the rear shock?
My second question is gearing. what front and rear gearing (amount of teeth) would you recomended for a big trip on this bike. The bike will mostly be doing long straight roads and long sandy corragated roads. I don't expect to be doing and tight hilly stuff. I just want a setup that will give me better economy but still suitable for sandy corragated roads.
Thanks for your help
Brad
