Accessories for the Yamaha SZR 660

The Yamaha SZR 660 is a sporty road bike suited to a ride through the bends as well as everyday journeys. That mix of riding puts particular emphasis on the feel of the controls: braking for a corner, slowing for traffic and working the levers should all feel comfortable to you. The accessories available here focus on those points of contact rather than on carrying luggage or changing the bike’s appearance. Think about where you ride most often when deciding what matters to you.

What riders usually fit to the Yamaha SZR 660

For this model, the available choices centre on two areas that you use on almost every ride. Each plays a slightly different part on a flowing road and on a stop-start commute:

• Brakes: on a road with a succession of corners, braking is part of settling into a rhythm before each turn. Brake components for the SZR 660, including options from Braking, are worth considering if this is where you spend much of your riding time. They are just as relevant when a regular journey involves repeated stops. What matters is how the braking action fits the way you ride, rather than treating every trip as a fast ride out.
• Levers: your fingers meet the brake and clutch controls again and again, whether you are changing gear through bends or working through town traffic. Levers for the SZR 660, with HIGHSIDER among the brands available, let you give that contact point some thought. Consider how your hands sit on the controls over a longer ride, not only how they feel when you first set off. Small details at the bars can matter on both kinds of journey.

If the bike serves several purposes, picture an ordinary weekday ride as well as your favourite road. That makes it easier to decide whether braking components, levers or both deserve your attention.
