- - Excess oil in the breather. ( https://www.xt660.com/showthread.php?t=12331)

Thanks Hans. I've just bought an 08 tenere in the UK but live in Germany. I'm assuming my Euro Warranty will be honoured at any official Yamaha dealer in Europe right? (I'm aware from the post that they can differ greatly in helpfulness of course).

As I'm the world's dumbest mechanic, what would happen should I forget to let the breather tube drain from time to time? How often should I aim to do this? I intend trying to get the 09 mod part on warranty but haven't yet got my 'new owner' warranty card from Yamaha, so need to be aware of waht to do/not to do in the meantime.

Incidentally, has anyone used the Yamaha Assist breakdown cover? Any good? Can it be used anywhere in Europe?

Thanks guys (and gals)

I should have searched first

Found everything I need to know here.

I missed all this while on my travels in July.

Thanks man, you're right - everything I needed was there. Took me long enough to read it though. My goodness, there is such a vast array of knowledge and experience on this site, freely given and ever-so-helpful. THANX.
