Dear XT660 friends,
Yesterday I decided to ckeck and lubricate steering bearings. There were slight free play when going on gravel and small,sharp bumps. And Here is the Result!!:
I guess previous XT660X users had never lubricated these bearings, The seals were damaged water came in and you can see the result. Rust everywhere. And I am completely shocked because the free play was not in the bearings, but in the TOP bearing seat. The bearing shaft seat is worn out and now I need new Bottom Yoke.
Guys Please maintain your XT660`s according to the Yamaha manual and relubricate these bearings as you should.
P.s. The tire rotation is correct. There is an arrow pointing forward
P.s.s. If you are interested in Dominator exhaust of my bike then here is a small clip -
