Get a set of Yamaha XTZ engine bars to protect the water pump...
they are around $300... Cheaper than a $1000 engine case.. "2nd hand bits are few & far between.."
Yamaha don't make them for the XTR so I had to cut up a set of XTZ ones..

havent seen those engine guards before - have seen a few other types. Mine has got some that stick out the side at the moment not sure what brand. My bash plate seems to come up higher and protect the pump maybe its the angle of your photo or the xtr one is lower

pivotpegs now on - bit of a size difference

[cynna]

high mudguard has arrived and brought a wolfman tail bag that fits the rack quite nicely. and my bike is now clean

I see I'm not the only one with this prob... can't park a XT anywhere...

I have sold my XT660r ( Moved to the orange side) and have a Air box Cover Filter stage 2 with a stainless plate I think it is a K&N It has had very little use if any body interested .

Pass.......... I like my air filtered...Did notice the HP drop when I removed the stage 1 & 2 DNA filters... Be good on a XT660X motard thats only used on the road.. stage 1 & 2 DNA's can flow 9% more air than what the motor can suck at red line...

At last it's ridable again...
Only got to put the Ohlins in the rear once the swing arm & linkage
bearings turn up...

I must say I'm loving my 660. I did have a 1997 660 a couple of years ago and I hated that bike. But a lot has changed since then. This one is a 2012 and only had 1500km on the clock so I quickly snapped it up

I'm just about to go down to work and start making a bash plate for it.

here's a pic of my old and now my new one

[gpcustom]

this is what ive done so far. Still need to mock up the left hand side and make a mounting bracket
once I sort that just have to make the parts and weld it up

[gpcustom]

my bash plate is a reject it just vibrates badly just gana put the factory plastic one back on for now
Might try some rubber under it but if that doesn't work will just start again

I have a treadplate one on the DR800, it seems to be a home made job but well done. It amplifies the engine noise which makes the DR sound like it is rattly..
which of course it isn't...
