Well after a month of work its Mot'd and ready for the road - all work except for valves and stator bolts were done by me and my dad Its had all new custom wiring for lighting, etc oil and filter (sorted oil leaks) chain and sprockets (see below) Speedo & Rev counter inc new Cables Carb cleaned & manifold rubbers replaced due to one of the old one split New Air filters New Spark Plug The engine was making a weird noise thought it was the cam chain so took it to a local machenic and he checked and thought it could be the valve clearences so he adjusted them and found the noise was from the stator bolts coming loose and coursing it to rattle all sorted now starts 100% better now! Front Sprocket (old one 1 tooth less) - Rear wasnt much better! and finnaly a new paint job! not everyones cup of tea but i like it the paints called "fantasy pink", did all the prep and paint my self While Painting Still a few jobs to do like a fork oil seal and seat cover and source a side panel but all theres can be done on the go now

After doing that reply I then looked at the tag it says 43f on the bike haha

Yeah it was up for 595! Crazy stuff lucky they had the headlight and cowl just needs reattaching but there's no wiring for it yet, it was originally blue (on log book) as for what model I have no idea? How can I tell? Logbook is useless just says yamaha 600 Cheers

I've created a project thread , Indeed its a enduro I like the bike havnt had a chance of riding it for long tho

Hey all this is the story of my 1984 XT600 I purchased it in feb 2011 as a bit of a dog it had 32km on the clock and a horrible paint job I then resprayed it and had it mot'd and it passed first time it then looked like It then got stolen in mid march 2011, police couldnt find it and as my excess was so high i didnt claim and just took it on the chin. Yesturday (26/7/2012) i went into my local bike shop (in the same town i live in!) to look at a white xt they had as a field bike, i told the bike shop owner i had one stolen and he was nice and wanted to make sure the one he was selling wasnt mine so i got my v5 (i never declared it lost/stolen/scrapped to the DVLA) and my vin matched! the police were called sorted some stuff out and as i never claimed technocally meens i still own it! so i got it back there and then (bike owner even delivered it to my house!) Sadly its a right state! paints terrible, lights and wirings all missing, massive oil leak, chains about buggered, tyres bald and gennerally just been abused theres no clocks, etc so thats handy! So as a ongoing project going to rewire and get all the lights working again, etc and at somepoint get it back on the road

Hey all i own a xt600 so thought id join a club:) cheers M0j0
