I'm a new TT60R owner too and have had some of the same experiences. There are a lot of forum posts out there on the starting sequence, when I get a chance over the weekend I'll try and dig them out. In the meantime - http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/yama...ighlight=tt600r http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/sear...searchid=873484 Horizons unlimited seem to eb the best resource I have found. There is information on checking the decrompressor cable. In my limited experiences so far (with a well looked after machine that I bought) the bike seems to be very sensitive to set-up. Firstly always turn off the fuel after a ride. I don't know why either but it seems to be easier to start on fresh fuel. You could also try draining the carb bowls. It seems to be sensitive to mixture. Check out the spark plug. Mine was quite black indicating a rich mixture and the idle speed seemed quite high. I cleaned the spark plug and gap to make sure that the spark has the best chance. I was having all sorts of trouble getting the thing started and getting some serious kickbacks too. When you do get it going, make sure it is good and warm then turn down the idle speed until it is ticking over nicely at a sensible rev limit. Some of the forum posts go into a bit more detail. I haven't had any problems starting since I made this adjustment and it starts 4th or 5th kick. I have also replaced the air filter with a more free flowing one, butI'm not sure if this was an issue. Next thing I want to do is change the exhaust but I am expecting this to require mixture settings. What I do for starting is avoid putting on my lid and gloves - no point in getting too hot until you know the bike will start. Always wear boots. Beware the kickback. Do not hold the front brake. Gas on, Choke out. Slowly kick the bike over (move the piston to TDC) until resistance is felt in the kick start. It will click quite a bit during this and if you have your lid off, you can hear the compression thru the exhaust. Let the kickstart return to the top and then put your effort into the main kick right through to the bottom. If nothing after a couple of goes, leave it for a while or flooding may occur. Let us know how you get on.

I've got a TT600R with 17" talon hubbed wheels and a speedo drive. The speedo is not working and i suspect its because the cable is too tight and has failed. Anyone out there fitted 17" wheels and fitted a conventional spped cable to the stock speedometer? Any ideas about who could supply a lomng enugh cable with the correct fittings at each end?
