So a Leo Vince X3 showed up on ebay, new for $279.

My mouse was a blur I nailed the Buy it Now button so fast

Seemed like a good deal to me anyway? The listing said new, but the photos showed only the can, not the two clamps, so I'm not sure I'll get them. Or the db or SA inserts for that matter, which would be no big deal. I remember a while back someone found better clamps than the LV ones. Anybody point me in the right direction for clamps if I get none?

Now I see the same outfit has listed another X3 for the same price, but it's clear that all the hardware is included...

My bad.

Cheers Ian

bummer! i was hoping to eventually add that to my list of TE 610 farkles, but unfortunately the money isn't available right now. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what you come up with next

Ok whats the go, my mate just bought a fuel injected 2008 610 and is most pissed off because of fuel capacity. we're all going on the big trip and he's had to build jerry can holders everywhere. I've ridden this bike and it's sweeeet but the fuel capacity sucks,anyone heard of a bigger tank. ps have tried aqualine(safari) but no go yet

From what I've heard and read it's a new engine design so probably not.

George at Up-Tite is working on a remote pimp so that you can use the older tanks.

DO NOT put the jerry can on the rear fender or rack!!

that is the idea!!

The pump can indeed be put remotely from the tank, like in a car!
Therefore a large capacity tank designed for a carb 610 can be made to fit.
We just need to find the right fuel pump. In the market there are hundreds to be choosen.
Now, which is the best tank?

Up-tite is making a billet sub-tank that the stock pump will go into. It won't be cheap though, probably a couple hundred, then 3 for the tank.

A ride today in Southern Az.

Flashman1 · 02-06-2010, 07:55 PM

On my ride today I stopped to adjust my idle knob - and noticed my manual CCT was almost falling out!

I don't know how long it was loose and found it by accident - the bike did seem nosier than usual.

No 16mm wrench in the tool kit so had to make do with 17mm from a Kawasaki tool kit.

Lucky - that the chain didn't jump a cog - lucky it did not fall out all the way and start spewing oil.

Wow, scary! Just feel lucky you get to ride at all this time of year. February is hard for us up here in the northern plains, knowing we won't get to ride (comfortably anyway) for at least a month. Probably two.

We'll be looking forward to those desert pix to keep us entertained 'till spring!

I got my bike back from CigarMike the other day with the centerstand............

It works well and looks good. There's a slight order to things as when the side stand is up the center stand needs to go past it, so to put the bike on center stand you deploy the sidestand then use the center stand. Goes up like a charm, gets the real wheel up enough for a tire change easy. Not sure on the weight of it, but it looks to be well built. I'm not sure if I'll keep it on for regular riding, but will definitely keep it around as I can see it being quite good for longer trips, desert, and those areas where a flat might be a total pita.
Full disclosure.... I was just in the area and able to give mike my bike for a week so he could do the R&D, in turn he was nice enough to comp me a centerstand as there had been a few inquiries from others. So if you think you would like a centerstand now there's an option. Thanks Mike
