MAXIMUSCLE

Hi mate, Well tried al that you mentioned and it does seem to be doing the trick at last. The thing with the front brake is really valed to, i noticed that it takes some of the power away from the intial spark, think its something to do with the dcu ir cdi or whatever the blackbox is... Anyway, it has given me some real confidence in the bike now, before i tried what you said i was planning on flogging it. but i can honestly say that wont be happening now. Im going to have it put in for service though to get the valves checked and mixture set up etc, that should make it even more easier. Thanks for the advice mate, really did help out. safe riding mate. chris

Ok mate, cheers for the info, ill get one and see what diff that makes. cheers again dude

nice one mate, now time for you to join the two wheeled world in proper style, just bear in mind that there are some real fools out there on the roads and it does seem at times like there out to get ya...keep your wits about you, ride to your own standards and experiences, not a group of people your out with, and make sure you return home safe. well done again

Hi Guys, I was wondering how many of you with TT600R (i beleive its a 98 lump) have had the same problems that im having. STARTING, just cant seem to get it to start witout being absolutly PXXXXD off and shattered so much that after all that kicking i domt want to ride it. I realise that there is a knack, but i just cant seem to find out what it is. As the bike was mainly used for off road and the previous owner road regd it it does not have a battery. I had the wiring checked thats now fine. Changed the plug. When it starts she is great fun. What are the chances of fitting a starter to it, whats the cost of that?? At present my foot is dying and my knee is nearly dead!!!! I really dont want to seel it because i really do want to keep it, but it doesnt look like i will if i cant fire the beast up. Im also not convinced that decompressor is working, how can i check? When i first got it i snapped the kicker (previous bloke had welded it). Now got a xs750 one to replace it, any ideas on where to buy another one??? I keep searching the net but nothing seems to be flagged up. Really would appreciate any help you guys can be, ill also probably be asking lots more questions in time (if i keep it). Many thanks Chris

hI, iM NEW TO THE TTR 600 AND HAVE SINCE BOUGHT IT FOUND THAT MY KICK START IS JUST ABOUT READY TO BREAK, ITS BEEN WELDED BEFORE BUT KNOWING MY LUCK IT WOULD SNAP WHEN OUT IN THE LANES SOMEWHERE AND NO WAY OF STARTING THE BEAST AGAIN. WHAT I NEED TO KNOW IS: 1. IS THE SPECIFICATION OF THE BIKE THE SAME AS THE XT? 2. IS THE DECOMPRESSION CABLE AUTOMATIC, IF SO HOW MUCH DOES IT ACTUALLY MOVE WHEN BOOTING IT OVER 3. SEEM TO BE HAVING SOME PROBLEMS WITH RUNNING, FOR EXAMPLE AFTER FIVE MILES OR SO SHE CUTS OUT, WILL START AGAIN PROBABLY TWO MINUTES LATER, THEN THIS CAN ALL BE REPEATED, ANY IDEAS ON WHAT COULD BE CAUSING IT. 4. WHERE IS A GOOD OUTLET FOR NEW SETS OF PLASTICS AND OTHER SPARES. 5. WHEN BUYING A WORKSHOP MANUAL WOULD I BE OK GETTING THE XT 6OO OR DOES IT NEED TO BE FOR THE TTR?? LOADS OF QUESTIONE EH, BUT REALLY WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP WITH THIS LOT. THANKS GUYS AND HAPPY THUMPING AND LOADS LESS DUMPING
