Hi,

I'm from Sweden and riding an XT660ZA. Generally I'm quite happy with my bike but there are some exceptions (as everywhere)

Welcome.....and would like to hear your concerns. Maybe some have an easy solution that the forum could help with.

Thanks to all of you for the warm welcome!

@Chalk Two: I have the feeling, that the change to the ABS version was made in a hurry. Reading the manual (which has separate chapters for the ABS and 'classic' version) was quite dissapointing.
It starts with a non-adjustable fork suspension and reaches to 'The main fuse is difficult to acces. To change it, refer to a YAMAHA garage.' The same was said about dismounting of wheels (see the thread: Dismount wheel of XT660Z Tenere with ABS brakes).
I think this is a no-go for a travel bike. So in my eyes the classic version after 2008 is the more complete bike. But I can also see many positive aspects.
