The LH side panel on the airbox has a seal , buy the LH side on my box doesnt,So I sealed it and added a YZ450 Quad airfilter over my std DNA filter as my bike started using oil.
But all too late,
My bike is in at the agents , 1 year old , 32 000km on the odo and they have had to replace my barrel and my piston from excessive wear caused by dust,

This is what I found at before 20 k



ound the answer to the excessive dust we ride in.
One of the Yamaha quads use a re-usable foam filter.
I bought a new one from Yamaha and they cut a section off the top and it fits over the DNA filter(oiled naturally ! )



I put red rubber greas on either side of the airbox covers to stop the dust coming in to the airbox,

My older bike , XT660R , I did 74 000km in 3 1/2 years and sold it as it had started using oil and I wheelied it every other day and still hsd the std clutch
This bike , XT660Z only 32 000 km and needs a barrel , piston and a clutch and since My accident last year , I havent wheelied this one yet !

I suppose the conclusion could be " Ride hard and wheelie a lot " to make your bike last longer !!!

HAVE A READ HERE BEFORE YOU THINK MY BIKE IS AN ISOLATED TENERE.
