xt660.com
http://www.xt660.com [en]
Number 1 Internet resource about this bikes (so they say, and I agree). You have to register to access most of the forums, but it's worth the efort. Mostly in english, there are som reginal forums in other languages. They have an online shop with some interesting items (apart from caps and stickers) such as an fuel injection regulator for the 2005 and 2006 models.

Yam-XT.com
Another Yamaha XT660 forum, but far less populated.

Adventure Rider Motorcycle Forum
A big (if not the biggest) adventure motorcycling comunity.In the "Thumpers" subforum you can find some (scarce) threads about our XTs. Anyway first subforum on the list Ride reports and pics, pics, pics... is a VERY NICE place to see where people goes, how wide our planet is and what can be done with almost any bike.
