About 1200miles on my xtx. 1 day I rode about 60miles on hard pack, probably had about 700 miles on before that ride. Noticed a difference after that ride. My sliders are almost to the wear line now. Other than that day conditions up here in upstate NY have been pretty good for a change.

105 mph. xtx

I put 116 of the mega bites on mine. I used woodys universal template and went with the 96 stud pattern for a 121" track. Gives you 2 studs per row no doubles and I used the round backers. About 700 miles on them and no problems so far.

I am looking at studding my x-tx. After searching the posts I think I am going to go with 114 studs. My only question is the type of template you use for this pattern. I was going to go with woody's studs and order one of their templates. The one they recommend is the long track template but...

105mph on the dream o' meter yesterday on my xtx. Icy packed down road.

2008 Nytro RTX: Had 105 miles when I put it back on the trailer after doing the math even though I said 110 in my right up, my bad. ApexLTXGT: I got the cans at Sears. I did some research and measured the size of the bags. The cans are made by blitz and they are 1.4 gallons each.

Put 110 miles on my xtx today, the maiden voyage besides riding around the yard. When I started riding the temps were close to 0 degrees. The handwarmers work well IMO. Not as warm as my old venture, but they did the job. I have pretty cheap gloves that I picked up from Eastern Mountiain...

I bought the saddle bags and the tank bag for my xtx. I actually just bought two 1 gallon gas cans that fit in the side pockets of the saddle bag. I still have the tank bag and the center of the saddle bags for additional storage. Figured for now it was a little cheaper than buying a trail...

blue one

Hello all. I'm considering buying a xtx over a normal nytro but I am still undecided about it. Does the xtx fit on a 10' enclosed trailer? I'm coming from a RS Venture GT (finally got the wife to drive herself ;)! ). I can get my Venture to fit on a 11' enclosed but the rack on the rear...

Does anyone have gauntlets for the passenger handle bars on the venture? I know yamaha makes a set. I was wondering if anyone has used the yamaha ones or some other manufacturer? Wife's hands got a little cold on the last ride. Thanks!

Whatever you do make sure that whatever you tie down to the rack or in the spot where the seat sits is in there good. Went for my first ride with my new 07 Venture GT and strapped a back pack to the cargo pad on the back. The pack ended up loosening up and dangling behing the exhaust which in...

The shield warmer that Shivesy refers to is for an electric helmet shield I believe. I believe the wheels came from the factory. I asked him about that one after seeing numerous posts on here about having to add an extra set to help with hyfax wear. An interesting thing he told me was that...

Thanks for the info.
