Today I lost all clutch on my new tenere. When I looked at the clutch cable it had no free play and I slacked off the cable from the gearbox end and the lever end it moved about 2cm on the clutch arm on the box. I now have a little clutch but it's slipping under load

It must have been set incorrectly and I have been riding around with slight clutch on without noticing and it's finally given way. I haven't notice any slipping only when it went today. I really hoping it's just a matter of a new clutch and nothing else has gone wrong.

Hoping yamaha will fix under warranty but I'm not holding my breath as it's classed as a consumable aaaahhhhhhh not a happy camper bike has only 780km so I'm getting the 1k service while it's in the shop

Well, 780km is nothing, it should (morally) be considered as something covered by warranty.
Hell, this T�n has been giving some serious headaches to a lot of folks lately.

Yea has been a lot of negative post lately

Yea if yamaha don't do it under warranty I think I will be getting a clutch tool and clutch kit and having a crack at doing it myself.

Don't they recommend fully synth oil?

The right type of oil for this bike is SAE 10W-40.

Is that fully synth or semi

it's full synthetic- I don't know why would anybody advice semi synthetic over
full synthetic...another weird advice on this forum.

And there you've gone and done it again kc2ine, you just had to reply in a snotty way, I am afraid I've had enough of your crap. Despite my kind approach and willingness to help you as per this post: http://www.xt660.com/showpost.php?p=201653&postcount=42

You my friend are out go find another forum to disrupt, your time here is over. After 3 warnings you are now banned for life. Your email address, your IP address are all banned. Please don't try to re-join under an alias, we will find out and delete you immediately.

Now, go f### yourself. My patience has been tested to the max.

it's to do with the braking in of the engine during the first 1000km. Lots of people recommend mineral oil during this period.

I think you will find rather than thinking the advice given was weird, you're own opinion and experience differs.
I am, however, very weird!!

What you say is unfounded twaddle. The recommended oil is Yamalube 10w40 semi-synthetic for all XTs (aka Motul 5100).

Bye.
