660 service - how to?

Postby Gobsheen » Wed Mar 11, 2015 11:44 am

Hi,
I could be going nuts but I can't find a full how-to on servicing a 660 (mines a Mastiff). Oil change is the immediate priority. I'd swear I've read one here before but I can't find it!

I did find some good info in a thread 'Oil Filter' - OP was Matty. It gives an explanation although I wasn't familiar with all the terms/bike parts. I'm hoping there's a how-to with some pictures or diagrams to help dim folk like me!

I'm also looking for advice on the right oil. There seems to be different opinions but guessing that's a lot to do with location and climate. I'm in sunny Scotland!

Enclosed some files, one of which contains the oil change info.

Oil wise? Well I've tried full sythn and I felt it made the engine more rattley, back to 10w40 semi.

Changing every 3-4k its not worth it going for synth.

Neat!
Is there anything like that available for the Skorpion? I've found Graham's parts diagrams which are somewhat useful and I have the Skorpion handbook but more of a manual would be great.

I'm afraid you are SOL on a bike service manual. There is an engine service manual pdf on the net (fair quality) from Yamaha. Sorry, I can't point you to it, but I found it somehow.. :D

Thanks, I've got that. Trouble is, the engine is the least likely part I'd need to fix. It's here if anyone else wants it. :-

Fortunately, the rest of the bike is bucket of hammers simple. I've completely gone through the Commie Thumper, now, and didn't find anything that isn't straight forward.

Is there any real benefit in using the k&n oil filter?
