Very informative. Thank you sir👌🏼

Kai Ora, from a expat kiwi in Oz, I had a new XT600E, absolutely bulletproof engineering from Yamaha, and the 660 models have proved just as good, you would have enjoyed the trip you were on.

Hi Sorry to take so long to reply. It is attached at the front by a bracket provided to the 2 bolts that secure the motor to the frame. From memory I purchased longer bolts. The rear of the bash plate is bolted to where the 2 original exhaust pipes were attached. I added extra washers as spacers to allowance clearance between bash plate and engine sump. Hope this helps.

Olá chegando de like 👍👍 Inscrito também!! Excelente adaptação dos canos de descarga passando por cima 👏👏👏👏👏👏 Você fez o reforço de quadro?? Pois as motos que usam o bauleto costumam quebrar. Qualquer coisa, confira um vídeo meu falando sobre isso.

Great bike. ..sounds like it did you proud! Any footage of the trip..? Steve

Stephen Eldridge Hi Stephen. I did a blog called Russelsenroute.com. The first part of it is our America’s trip when I used this bike, the second part is our more recent trip from Vladivostok to London on our 250’s.

Great review and useful suggestions. I minterested to know if you needed to re tune the bike after going from a 2 into 1 system, and if you felt a gret deal of difference in the power delivery. Thank s again. Cheers. John

Didnt notice any difference in the power delivery, and we had the bijes serviced after it was installed.

Hello, I wonder where the crankcase protection is attached.

hello , how i can height my fatbar ? because the clutch line is too short ...do you have replacement the line??? also whose is the program you have with this exhaust? thank you very much!

Hello Sir, I just watched your informative video. Tnx for the upload!! Decreasing almost three inches of seat height, how much ground clearance did you got?? Is there enough ground clearance left, for off-road traveling?? Stay safe n take care!!

Hi. Glad you found the video helpful. We changed the standard exhaust from going underneath the bike to a side mounted exhaust. We then fitted a Metal Mule bashplate. The ground clearance underneath the bashplate at the front of the bike is 220mm and at the centre of the bike the frame below the shock absorber is approx 180mm. This is with no weight. Hope this helps.

Hello Mr. Russel, dont know if you still own this bike but I have a quick question, if you dont mind; recently I got myself a xt 660 r from 2009 just like yours. The reason Im writing you is that I bought it with the exact same top case as yours and I can not get it out. Is there some trick to it that I am not aware of? Tried everything but it just wont move. Cheers

Hi. Yes I still have the bike but have never had the need to remove the top box, so sorry can't help you.

how high is the windscreen ?

Nearly no one talks about the power of the engine. Is it more powerful than Honda NX 650? I had one of those and I thought it could have had a little more power. Have you any idea of that?

Hi Birger Westin I dont know how powerful the Honda is so cant really answer your question, but I found the XT to have as much power as I needed.

We didnt look into it, we just carried extra fuel when we thought we would need it.

So none of the fueling issues that some seem to find with these?

The fueling issues people refer to is jerkiness at low speed, easily managed by using the clutch and giving it some revs... Once you're out of idle speed there is no issue

11 months late but what gives. 130km/h is perfectly fine. 145 also, 150 and upwards is a bit wobbly, but still fine without too much wind. PS: @Mr. Russel I think it's really cool that you still answer on your videos 6 years later :)
