Yamaha XT660Z - Budget Touring Bike At Its Best!

I give the Tenere a lot of love and then enjoy a Sunday cruise and a nice cold beer!

[@riaannolan]

I agree with you! The 660 Tenere is an excellent bike! Great value for money!

[@dimebag6675]

Rear tyre model?

[@dirtbikeadv]

Hi, it was a Dunlop 606 on the rear. Good bang for buck tyre. A little noisy at 80kms but other than that a great tyre Regards Steve

[@ridesrambles8903]

One of the best things about motorcycles is just what you said near the start, "I don't even know where I'm going", the wife asks me where I'm off and I just say "I don't know, check the phone" sweet ride bud, I had an earlier version and it was a lardy machine compared to yours

[@dirtbikeadv]

Yeah love getting lost.... What U riding now?

[@ridesrambles8903]

@Dirt Bike ADV an NC700X and its great for mile munching, but do miss the dirt option.

[@dirtbikeadv]

@@ridesrambles8903 Cool yeah you'd get there quickly and in style lol. Honda make great bikes it would be a pleasure to ride like all Honda's

[@enduro-nuts]

If you want to get real lost, come to Romania for some adventure riding 🥳 Cheers enjoy your rides!

[@zzxx33mh]

​@ridesrambles8903, you can make it more lite offroad and well look beautiful more..

[@DanielSmith-vp5vn]

Absolute bargain these things for what you get. Simple, bomb proof and payload is 185kg.

[@stevenwest4078]

Cheers could not agree more with your review. I've just purchased one . New to riding but fine this bike perfect for my needs

[@antonnarnickis6675]

Considering to get one for myself. I’m 5.8 is it not going to be too high for me?

[@jeffreybuik5299]

Hi There! I was wondering what side racking system you have? I want to make sure that it fits with my after market exhaust and yours look similar.

[@dirtbikeadv]

My pannier racks were made by Barrett Products in Australia. They are very basic but worked for me Regards Steve

[@Getgowin]

Can’t argue with the numbers, it’s a bargain at that price point.

[@guyonacub4335]

Doe's the tenere come tubeless from stock Nice video You have wet my appetite

[@dirtbikeadv]

To be honest I don't know it is a 2010 bike so not sure how it came out of the factory. I ran heavy duty tubes but not sure about out of the showroom. Sorry couldn't be more help

[@andraskoleszar9759]

Hey @Dirt Bike ADV Can you recommed a reasonably priced handguard with a metal reinforcement that allows for full lock of the handlebars with the touring windscreen?

[@dirtbikeadv]

I had the Bark Buster VPS with the standard screen and that worked fine but sorry can't help with the touring screen never fitted one

[@andraskoleszar9759]

@@dirtbikeadv I appreciate you getting back to me, I'll search around to see if I can find a good alternative. Great video btw!

[@tractorfactor660]

This is one good looking bike👍 Love your weather, we have that white shite all over and my Tenere is hibernating still next couple months.

[@dirtbikeadv]

Yeah bit of a bugger that white stuff shuts every thing down. We can ride all year around. Can get a bit hot up in the northern parts of Aus but down it's all year around. Very lucky Thanks for watching Regards Steve

[@debaron]

Great looking bike!

[@jeffreybuik5299]

Just bought a Tenere! Where did you get this sticker set? Looks awsome

[@dirtbikeadv]

Winners Ink make them it's called the Raid Blue Standart. Hope U enjoy the bike Regards Steve

[@jeffreybuik5299]

Thanks for your reply! Love this bike.. 1 other question I have.. I changed the stock exhaust for a after market one.. but now it looks like the underside is unprotected from anything that comes updid you install a mud guard or anything? @@dirtbikeadv

[@dirtbikeadv]

@@jeffreybuik5299 Nahi Jeff, no I didn't I simply removed the heat shield sticker and cleaned it up. If the aftermarket exhaust doesn't require the stainless bracket that has bolt holes for the stock exhaust you will need to block of the gap that removing that bracket leaves. I used a piece of rubber sheet cutting it to shape and screwing that over the slot shaped hole. Good luck Regards Steve

[@jamesrossiadis-oz8bb]

What quad lock have you use up there the one that can go to the handlebar or the one that’s for the mirrors?

[@dirtbikeadv]

The one for the mirror fits straight on easy as. Works a treat👍

[@jamesrossiadis-oz8bb]

@@dirtbikeadv does the one for the handlebar do the work for both ? I ask course I want to know if I can change it to each place I want any other day

[@dirtbikeadv]

@@jamesrossiadis-oz8bb Yeah I can use the Quad lock in both places. For my normal phone or my navigation phone

[@oldshiny3012]

Aus looking green and pleasant at the moment i see👍👍

[@dirtbikeadv]
