Yamaha XT660R Fuel Consumption

This year, the XT has been given a proper look. Say hello to liquid-cooled, fuel injection engine, all new chassis and styling.

In true off road style, the 21-inch wheels with spoked wheel rims Knobblies equipped, while the soft suspension travel to cope with decent dirt.
