Yamaha XT660R
 
Hi My name is Ian I own an 05 Yamaha XT660R pretty standard. Just completed a 4000km trip around New Zealand, first time on a bike like this, really enjoyed it other than the snatchy injection.

Has anyone put an aftermarket rear shock on their bike. I use mine on and off seal with luggage. Im not light either. Cheers Ian

Some people have fitted ohlins and WP on their bikes before so yes it can be done, depends on your $$$

Hi....
Kev on here has a couple of injection mods to get rid of
most of the surging.. " they DO work....
Robert Taylor is the best place to go in NZ...
A Ohlins shock for the XTR is around $1100.00
He will tune the shock for your weight type of rideing...
