Handlebar mounts

So although it will never win anything in a beauty contest, my 3yf is going well and I’m really enjoying it as my daily ride. If it were a couple of inches shorter I would be ecstatic...I will look at options here... but this post is to ask where people get the ‘metalastic’ type rubber mounted ...

Re: So, my xtz burned 3 litres of oil over the summer...

Just before you strip it down... how are you testing the cylinder pressure? Surely at pre- starting rotational speeds the auto exhaust lifter/ decompressor is operating?
Given that it’s starting well and that the only problem is an unexplained oil loss, You could run it until you felt more sure ...

Thanks for that. A friend with an XTZ told me that he had bought his bike with a longer screen and that he had cut it down as ...

Re: Screens

Thanks, Mezo. That doesn’t look too hopeful but is the 3AJ screen the same for the 3YF?

I’ll put the information from the listing in...
YAMAHA XT 660 660Z TENERE TOURING SCREEN 1991-1996
Is this clear to others? ...I’m not really up on the models/differences.

Re: Screens

I’m a bit unclear about whether the Slipscreen touring screen listed will fit my 3yf. I called the guy to talk to him and he asked me to send a picture of mine, which I did. I’m waiting to hear back but I just thought I would ask you guys the question...
Is the screen common to both the single ...

Screens

I’ll be using the bike for some long-ish rides (200 miles) and am considering a screen to reduce buffeting at higher speeds on motorways etc. Firstly, does anyone have any feedback on currently available screens for the 3yf... and also, is there compatibility with the twin headlight models?

Re: Gearbox problem

So this week, almost a year since I found that the ‘project’ XTZ that I bought needed a new gearbox, I finally got around to fitting the rebuilt engine. Today was to be the post-rebuild, maiden (hopefully 5 geared) voyage.

I live on the edge of Dartmoor in Devon and I rode up to Princetown in ...

Re: model/year ID

Gaskets sets should fit all years with the 5 valve head, the only differences in the engine are a taller 1st gear & a blanking plate on the later 4MY model which has an electronic tacho (blanking plate instead of tacho drive unit).

Rick

That's good to know. I can get on with it now.
