Hi guys, i want to pick your brains. I recently picked up a second hand XT660X with 15k on the clock. Its a lovely machine but it over revs by itself and dies out at low speed when changing gear. There have been times when ive been placed in danger because of this and its also quite embarrassing. Never has any problem restarting though! I know its the TPS. Looking back at some of the forums, i can see other XT riders have had the same problem and ive heard that Yamaha replaced the TPS on some machines under warranty but i expect this option is not available anymore because the machine is a 04 model and getting on a bit. Does anyone know where i can order a TPS because …

I have a 96 xv535 that's leaking at the clutch shaft seal where it enters the case behind the rear cylinder. Local yamaha shop said they have never seen one leak there before. I've checked the crankcase breather and it's clear. Does anyone know what caused the leak and do I have to pull rear cylinder to change the seal. Also I noticed that the aftermarket clutch kits note that kits are not for full synthetic oil. I've been running amsoil for the last 20,000 miles. Bike has 25,000 miles.
