Welcome! Kind regards from South America. PS: Don't touch the airbox, japanese engineers smashed their brains to make the balance between intake and exhaust gases, improving the torque-speed curves for the best performance.

Welcome! Yes, give a little info about your bike. I suppose your YBR could be from Brazil or from Asia. "YBR" means "Yamaha Brasil." made in Manaos. It's plenty of them down here In South America.

Now I'm using an Airoh S4 (Italy), it works like an Enduro (little heavier), or race or like the Uvex shown above. The S4 is perfect when you want to eat butterflies in summer at 70 miles/hour... http://www.airoh.com...s4/color#more-1

Change the clutch cable, probably has rust. And this happens when the chain is very tight, at least in my XT600. I found a Latin American solution for the clonks/clanks: now I use a semi syntethic 15W50 oil and dissappeared! Remember to use the clutch several times when you start the engine and when you are waiting to ride it, it's very useful and that make the clutch be lubricated with the engine oil.

My humble experience: Change the springs for a short ones an add a (how can I say it, I speek in crude english) add a two inches bump inside like some Motocross guys do to rise the forks. When I bought my XT the mechanic did the reversal operation. Other trick is to add also an "elevator" (sorry again) between the forks and the handlebar.

In some markets the new products starts to sale in october as a new model. Maybe is a 1974 Yamaha DT 100 built in 1973. Same happens with cars If the starting Engine number is between 437-000101 and 437-100101 this is a series A (1974) or B (1975) over the last number. http://www.cyclechaos.com/wiki/Yamaha_DT100#1974_DT100A Take a look:

Sorry, see below.

Take a look to the clutch cable, probably have rust inside. Probably is time to change it.

Thanks a lot! Well, I want to speak good English, must practice with www.wordreference.com

Good morning: My name is Gabriel (age 53) from Buenos Aires, Argentina, very happy to find this Web site. After a cornea implant (transplant) I'm again on the road with my venerable 1999 XT600. The last three years I was having a good time and experiences crossing the Atacama desert (Chile) following the Dakar Rally Raid in different paths for several weeks each time (2010, 2011, 2012). I started with a NSU Quickly (around 1957 model).This is my tenth motorbike. You are welcome to my country & my house when you want to come down here. I hope I can add an learn some knowledge, showing you the devastating illness I called "the Moto virus syndrome". Maybe I can contaminate most of you, like my father and brother did when I was eleven. Kind regards. PS: by the way, I'm planning a journey from Buenos Aires to San José de Costa Rica starting on January 2013
