Hi there,
I purchased an XT660 recently, and it had done 100'000 K's... All was well.... until a few 1,000K's later...
Long and the short of it, it needs a new bearing on the crank shaft, but apparently (according the the Yamaha chap at Cycletreads, who seems to really know his stuff!) the bearing can't easily be replaced due to a brass shim that holds it in place...
Anyway, the long and short of it is that all the parts, and then labour, its going to cost me circa 2k+ to get sorted...
So, I'm ideally looking for a 660 engine (I believe most of them will swap out, be it XT660R X Z etc etc.. possibly even the quads?
Anyone got, or know of an engine??? :)
Cheers, I hate not having a bike :(
