The XT Story

Hi, I wonder if anyone could help me? In a competition that was run on the UK Yamaha site the prize was a book called 'Yamaha, the mythical thumper, the XT story'. Anyone know where to get hold of a copy.

Cheers Fish.

TRY SEARCHING ON aMOZON THEY ALSO LIST BOOKS FROM SECOND HAND SHOPS ETC.

I noted the shots of your bike on the Tenere UK site where did you get the rear panier tank for the bike and is the fuel tank adapted to allow more fuel or just segregated?

Hi Charlie, I found these tanks by accident in France as a pair, their made of GRP and are by a company called Motoforms. The front is two tanks or segregated as you say but is much larger than the standard at a total of 45 litres.

Cheers Fish.
