Hi Chris,
I own mentioned bike and done so far around 80.000 km on it. Take a look mostly on engine condition, if done more than 50-60.000 km, do rebore on first/second oversize, you can do it for reasonable price. Also, check front and rear suspension, change oil and replace stock springs with progressive on front susspensions. XTZ 660 is well known oil consumption bike, take as normal consumption up to 0,3 lit/1000 km. Always use semisynthetic oil ( esther blend if possible )or even mineral, normaly 15W-50 or 20W-50. Later model of XTZ 660 with double round lights are better in electrics, but also are slightly underpowered; if ride without passangers, quite enough. Once you get used on it, you will find it as very good choice, due to low fuel consumption and very good endurability. With enduro tyres mounted ( MT 21, T63, TKC 80 ) Tenere is realy usefull bike on bad tracks, much beter than , for example, Transalp or so. My is now on 130.000 km, just one rebore, never let me down ( so far ) :-)
Regards,
AnteK
