Sold my X challenge in March and bought a 690 enduro (wot a mistake), as look would have it I managed to buy back my old X challenge on Saturday and had a nice blast around the Peaks, just like putting on a pair of comfy old slippers.

Tell us why the 690 was so bad, I thought it was Gaz who had probs, not you lot with the Orange bikes

Can't remember to be honest. It wasn't cheap, it was worth every penny

Some great additions to the bike Ash, the stainless bolts look really well. Does your list include engine bars?

BMW Screen works well on mine
Did I show the special 'bracket' I made?
I like making brackets
It's not on the 'bike all the time, but I can put it on in two minutes if I was to go where petrol stations are thin on the ground ... but at 80mpg
The bracket ...
... and for long distance rides

You've removed the BMW Rectifier Cover too
Despite the warning, I never had a problem with mine for the 5 years on the XChallenge, even in the warmest of conditions

I like that Micky,
I used a bracket from a quad on mine if I'm going for a long distance.
Also If I have a long motorway run I clip in a screen from a 1996 bandit S.

That's good, I think the Wunderlich guard looks a bit poor compared to the BMW one
Took her into Banhstomers today for her BMW recalls, rear chain roller and a bracket for the brake pipes by the headstock.

Whilst i was there i ordered a new side stand as the standard one is too long for me to get on the tall bike.
The standard 2007 item is - 46 53 7 696 867 SIDE STAND - L = 304MM
The 08-09 item i ordered is - 46 53 7 716 440 SIDE STAND - L= 250MM
Which makes it much easier to get on.
Below is a piccie of my interim Yamaha YBR 125 stand fitted, until my new one arrives from the Fatherland

Also whilst in the workshop i got the guys to link her to the BMW GT1 computer and got the ECU updated to the last update, which makes quite a difference to the bike, much smoother and Woooooooooooooosh...........
