Thanks guys, the big Yam single should be a lot of fun. Of course I can’t leave anything alone, so I’ll be ordering a less restrictive exhaust, air filter and an EFI correction device to cure an inherent surging issue, but I need to get a Roadworthy Certificate first, so I can get it registered. The battery is dead after sitting for a couple of years, so I’ve ordered a new one. I’m looking forward to doing some rides and posting them here. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Happy birthday Terry. Gotta love that big ol' yamaha,  looks like fun. All the guys on the FJR site are ditching the Power Commander and getting their ECM's re-flashed by a dude called Ivan. He is quite the guru and maybe he has something for that XT.  I can look up the info if you think you want to go that way.

I first heard of Ivan for his Vmax flashes. I believe that he also does Kawasaki Concours C-14 flashes.
