1994 Yamaha XTZ660

Summary:

A very fun machine

Faults:

Not much has gone wrong with it, it just runs and runs. But due to lack of adjustment of the valves it lost a lot of power, took it in for a service and then it was OK again.

I have had some ordinary things that had to be changed. The chain and sprockets have been changed once, and the same with the battery.

General Comments:

The engine is very strong and revs up much better than the XT600, it really wants to pull up to the red line. It also has a very nice sound, even with the original exhaust.

The bike is a bit soft, so the comfort is good, but it isn't the best performer if you want sharp handling. The upright driving position is comfortable and gives you a nice view over anything except SUVs.

Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Yes
