Correct, I host the pictures myself to avoid stupid things like Photobucket

I do not make any thumbnails so links are to full size images

Weight will come when I get a scale. Sound will come when I charge the camera :)

Here is a short video with sound

I also noticed I need some sealant as there is some leakage going on.

Thanks for that. That sounds good. Looks like I can get one for the same price as a second hand one without a matching link pipe here in New Zealand. Would be worth getting I think.

Hi again!

I decided to remove my rear wheel and take a look at the cush-drives.

As expected they are bone dry and pretty worn out.

I have been watching videos on Youtube as instructions how to do it and they are very helpful.

The bad thing is that my memory failed hard so instead of the recommended Silicon Grease (Vaclav Turek Video) I used Lithium grease and finished it all up.

Do you follow the Yamaha XT660Z Tenere group on FB?


Anyway, the friendly and super helpful community pointed out that I was supposed to use silicone grease...


1 tube of silicon grease purchased and off with the wheel again...this time removing all grease I put in 2 days ago...

And this time I cut up a brand new innertube from my MTB. Cut it into suitable pieces and applied the silicon grease all over.

To hold the gear in place I used Zip-ties and even though I did that it was a tight fit to get the rear wheel in the swingarm.

Some wiggly wiggly on the wheel and I got it back in place.


New Cush-drives are ordered - the version that is for the old tennere as they according to Vaccel hold up much longer.

I will also order PU drives from a friendly forum member.

And a black PUIG screen is on its way as well as a tailtidy from Acerbis.


1000 things to fettle with - and 1000 more to go :D

Hi Undcon. No I don't follow FB. Too many things to do to spend too much time on the computer...

I got a pair of the FX short levers this week. I got sick of squashing my fingers with the long ones. They seem well made for the price. And fit better behind the hand gaurds.

Hi!

Problem with this site is that it is going to be shut down soon.

See last posts...

So In my point of view - there is no point in continuing posting news to an already decided dead and deleted forum.

Facebook on the other hand is no good in threads like this, but the support and community is great.


Ill move my posts to my own site instead and let this die in peace.

Dude!!..the sites not dead yet and will hopefully continue if we continue to support it..

Long live XT660.com
