VEHICLE/EQUIPMENT INTRODUCTION:
The Yamaha XTZ660 Tenere was Yamaha Motor Companys flagship adventure touring motorcycle during the 1990s, building on the legendary Tenere name that originated with the Paris-Dakar rally raids. Powered by a 660cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder four-stroke engine, this machine combined the rugged reliability of Yamaha proven thumper design with long-distance touring capability and genuine off-road performance. The XTZ660 featured a robust steel tubular frame, long-travel suspension, and an oversized fuel tank that made it a favorite among rally raiders and adventure riders exploring remote terrain across continents.
Derived from earlier Yamaha off-road racing programs and influenced by Yamaha Dakar racing heritage, the XTZ660 used a carbureted 660cc engine producing approximately 46 horsepower. The engine shared architecture with the Yamaha TRX850 and Yamaha XTZ750 Super Tenere powertrain family, featuring a five-speed gearbox, decompression system for easy starting, and electric start alongside kick-start backup. The motorcycle was well regarded for its dual-sport versatility, capable of carrying riders and luggage across highways and through desert stages with equal competence.
Between 1993 and 1996, Yamaha refined the XTZ660 through incremental updates to the carburetion, suspension tuning, and electrical systems. These model years share essentially the same platform with minor variations in component suppliers and specification adjustments. The factory service repair manual covers all these model year variants comprehensively, making it the definitive repair reference for any XTZ660 owner.
