Ok sweet, thanks guys. Do different chokes affect the bike in different ways? for instance an old dirtbike choke that would screw in but looks different then the stock, would that would also?

[nathan_yamaha]

Does anyone here know where I could get: side and rear luggage racks, engine guard, acerbis desert tank?

Would racks and a guard like the ones on this tenere fit my regular 1989 XT600?
Also, any hand guard recommendations? I was thinking it might be cool to get ones with the blinker light integrated.

Hey Jens I looked a little deeper, If you notice on the 89 XT600 the choke plunger is solid at the end, The 1990 that you posted up has a little nipple or extension on it, What's the difference? why would one have it and the other not? funny thing is I bought the 2KF-14371-01-00 which has the small nipple as well and was orignally on the TTR250. Last night I installed it and it worked, as far as raising the idle etc. Should that one be ok to use guys?

Now my new issue is the plastic choke knob is right where my fuel petcock is and the fuel line goes right there, Is there an alt fuel petcock that would angle the fuel petcock a different way but still bolt up too the 89XT600 stock tank? Thanks everyone!!

[JensEskildsen]

Just do some creative routing of the fuelline, or cut the chokeknob smaller.

As for the different chokes and have they work compared to each other, I really dont know, but would expect them to work just the same.

Hello everone its time for a new set of pads on my xt and was wondering if anyone is running sintered pads? Or will that wear my rotor out early? Because parts-n-more has the sintered pads for my 89 for 2 bucks a pair and I figured I could stock up on a few sets for that price.

[JensEskildsen]

2 bucks? Damn, thats worth a shot.

I have run sinthered before, and expereinced no problems.

Hello XT riders!
This is mine 2kf, 1989. Stock, it has a crappy top case rack welded on frame I'm going to remove it and paint that part of frame in it's original color. I'm not riding it currently, my front sprocket is bald so I ordered a new chain and sprockets. I've bought used front brake disc and new front and back brake pads. My fork seals need to be replaced, also the fork oil. In a month, HERE I GO AGAIN

[G600]

Nice XT. I also liked your video of the java/mz group ride. Gotta love the old two stroke street bikes.

[Andreja]

Thank you friend

They are just that expensive. I've seen a dude or 2 make som himself, other than that, pay up, or leave it alone. I'd leave it alone.
