Posted May 23, 20223 yr Hello, I am the lucky owner of a Yamaha XT 660X from 2004. Unfortunately, I discovered some months ago a crack in the outer tube of the fork (right). It is located where the two screws are. You can find two pictures there: https://postimg.cc/gallery/Z4sqvLQ. The crack is also present between the two screws (not visible on the pictures). According to several forums, it would be a known problem of the Yamaha XT 660X, at least of this version. Yamaha is out of stock of this part and they are not producing it any more. Speaking French and Italian, I looked for a second hand spare part. However, Yamaha changed the design of the outer tube between 2005 and 2006. I only found second-hand forks of recent versions. Does anyone know if mounting the whole fork from a more recent model could be feasible? I also got the contact of someone offering to weld the crack. But it would cost around 400-600 euros and he cannot guarantee the repair. I am afraid the crack will reappear quite soon after. Does anyone have experience with this kind of repair? Any other idea? 😇 Many thanks, Romain
