The '''Yamaha XT550''' is a [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Yamaha]] from 1982 to 1983.
 
The '''[[Yamaha]] XT550''' was an [[enduro]] / [[dualsport]] type [[motorcycle]] made from 1983-1984.  It replaced the [[Yamaha XT500]] and was itself quickly replaced by the [[Yamaha XT600]].
 
==Description==
The Yamaha XT550 is better at low revs with two choke [[carburetor]], four valve head and engine balancer, but has a weak clutch. Ironically, the better XT550's very rare considering the fact that they were only produced for 2 years and that the four valve head goes eventually.
