Motorbuch-Verlag repair manual Bucheli german Yamaha XT 660 R/X

Description

Yamaha XT 660 X, XT 660 R – from 2004 onwards

In 2004, Yamaha presented the completely new parallel models XT 660 X as a supermoto version and XT 660 R as an enduro bike. The XT 660 X was a completely new bike, whereas the XT 660 R was the successor to the previous XT series that had enjoyed 30 years of success. With innovations such as petrol injection, catalytic converter, higher engine output and modern design, the XT 660 X and XT 660 R became models in their own right with a characteristic appearance and excellent handling that were exactly what many customers were looking for. XT 660 X und XT 660 R are universal motorbikes that are just as capable of showing their strengths on the daily route to work as on country roads, easy off-road terrain or fully laden on a holiday trip. They are fun to ride and will serve you for many years if treated well. But despite optimum maintenance and care, there can be times on the streets of this world when a problem crops up and there is no Yamaha workshop nearby, and for that this book was written.
