Danenbergs is on a distinguished road
Time flies and more than 4 years have pased since I started this thread
Few weeks ago I bought my 1st 2005 Yamaha XT660X with 33k km on the clock. At the moment I realy like the bike. IMO this is a good bike for a beginer (yes this is my 1st bike) it handles very well and is quite easy to ride.


I have some technical questions..
1st about the rear wheel Cush Drive bushing.. I have slight movement between wheel and sprocket hub (~2mm). Should I replace them and can you recommend good cush drive which last longer? I have seen in videos that it is a good idea to lubricate them with teflon lube (teflon chain lube for example) so that they last longer.
2nd I have slight movement in the front fork.. At the moment it is hard to find the cause.. but I can feel it on gravel roads. I should check the steering berings, but is it possible that there is a movement in the front fork legs? Fornt Wheel bearings were replaced.
