My idea would be to have two sets of wheel and tyres so that I could run the XT as a road bike with the standard road 17inch wheels for most of the year, and then switch over to the winter set with semi knobblies on 21/18 wheels off the XT660R.
When I asked my Yamaha dealer he mumbled something about the forks not being the same so you cannot swop the wheels between the R and the X. Ok, but is there a way to run two sets of wheels/tyres?????

Thanks gang!!! Simon

Dropped it! like a D**khead! left it on its side stand whilst running, on a very slight down hill slope, must not have been on its side stand properly and whilst my back was turned it dropped! I was fuming. Damage could have been worse, It snapped the left mirror off just below where it screws in, so should be able to get a new mount from the scrapyard, and scratched my left handguard badly, but i suppose thats why its there!

tomorrow will be spent fixing it and polishing like F**k to get rid of scratches, or as near as possible!

Thanks Acole, and I have been chatting to my friendly Yam main dealers and they confirm your point about the offset, so it rather sounds that Yamaha designed the 2 bikes to be completely non interchangeable!!! So the tyre route may be the only practical way to go!!
