Posted September 28, 200717 yr Hi everybody,could anybody tell me how many teeth are on the front and back sprockets of an 1989 XT600 tenere?I just got a set and fitted them but the rear had an extra 9 teeth to the one that was on the bike originally,must admit the acceleration is a lot better,probably lose some at the top end but I don't really thrash it anyway,just a query, cheers Andy

October 2, 200717 yr OMG what are you doing here? Bloody admin too! Ja, Anus, but you've been humping mine since 2004, what's new? Andy could use a 16 /42 or 14 /39 combo for the same results. More wear on the 14, less on a 16 combo's, however these changes may require a change from the 106 link 520 chain.
October 2, 200717 yr I was the one that called you in here to answer an XT query last year you stupid busboy!
October 2, 200717 yr Aah yes, I thought this was The Hillbilly's doo So how is the TDM? Traded it in yet? You never should have got rid of the wee XT and GS. It's all downhill now
October 2, 200717 yr No....the hillbilly just takes out the trash Bruce! TDM's still here.....haven't been on it for about 10 days though!
October 2, 200717 yr No....the hillbilly just takes out the trash Bruce! Well I'll be sure to tell him he missed a bit

But it's like stirring pigshit...it just gets thicker. Sounds to me Andy, that you got a TT600 sprocket set. Nothing really wrong with that in as much as judging from the year of your bike it is a 3AJ model which is the same engine used in the TT's relaunched round abouts 2000-2.
October 2, 200717 yr Careful Andy....he'll be telling you to hang your bike from the washing line next!
