Shalom y'all!

Greetings,

I just picked up a new 2011 (1km) XTZ660 at the Haifa, Israel Yamaha dealer Friday morning. I rode it home to the Golan Heights, about a 120 km trip, being careful not to exceed the 4k rpm break-in limit. Not an easy trick on the twisty Golan mountain roads.

I'm newly transplanted here; I'm from California, originally and had a KTM Super Enduro for fast riding in the vast expanses of the western US.

My first order of business will be to add some ROX risers that I bought in the US to raise the bars a bit. Hopefully, the seat will become more comfortable after I get used to it...

Thanks to all who have contributed to this forum. The wealth of information here is incredible and helped me with this purchase decision. I had no prior knowledge of this bike, since it is not imported to No. America.




Ride safe, Max

Hello welcome and enjoy the bike.
Would love to see some photos of the Golan area and of course the bike.

I've never known a motorcycle seat to become "more comfortable"!

My condolences, I didn't realise you were colour blind, or did you just not realise that they were selling you a blue one? You can't win em all I suppose.

Howdy and welcome, don't suppose you could send us a bit of sun?

Not too many sunshine bleached pics until we can compete please!
