Here’s a chance to win 4 litres of Silkolene Super 4 10w40 semi-synthetic engine oil and a K&N oil filter for your XT. As well as the first prize of the oil and filter, there will be two runner-up prizes of XT660.com stickers. The winner will also get the title “XT Trivia Champion” under their username on the forum so you can bathe in your own glory.

All you have to do is enter the XT660.com XT Trivia Quiz 2015 by answering ten simple questions. All answers should be sent to me by PM before the close of play on Sunday 10th January. The quiz is open to every forum member, wherever you happen to live*. Every answer can be found somewhere within the pages of XT660.com.

Without further ado here are this year’s questions…




1) What’s the official Yamaha name of this colour…



2) What is the recommended interval to change the coolant on your XT660?

3) What is the function of this bolt…



4) What is the standard recommended spark plug gap on all XTs?

5) What’s missing from this factory shot of a standard XT660X…



6) What was the initial peak power output (first dyno run) of kris007’s 778cc stroked and bored Xt660X?

7) Who owns this bike…



8) What do the initials MTC stand for?

9) Identify the manufacturer and model of this tyre from its tread…



10) What doesn’t do anything at 12 o’clock, gets richer in the afternoon but never works past 10 o’clock?




Smallprint – Please Read Carefully

The Rules

• Only one entry per forum member.
• Only answers sent by PM will be accepted.
• All entries to be received by 11:59:59 GMT on Sunday 10th January.
• Once you’ve sent your answers, that’s it – no later PMs changing them!
• In the event of a tie, there will be a tie-break question sent by PM to determine the winner.
• The quizmaster’s decision is final and not open to debate.

*Overseas Entries

The quiz is open to everyone, wherever you live. However, due to shipping costs the first prize will be ordered and delivered by a local supplier in your country, rather than sent from the UK. This means that the oil and filter brands may differ slightly, but they will be of equivalent quality/value.

Thank to Pleiades for setting up the quiz. Keeps the brain ticking over through the quiet months.
